State closes Little Nini Beach

Our previous article was about the importance of our beaches to our economy. 

This afternoon the State announced the closing of the beach at the pond in Ninigret Park, "Little Nini Beach", in a brief statement.





The Department of Health (HEALTH) recommends the closure of Ninigret Pond Beach in Charlestown to swimming due to high bacteria counts. Officials will continue to monitor the water quality and recommend re-opening when the areas are safe for swimming. Water quality analysis is conducted by the HEALTH laboratory or a state certified laboratory.
An interactive map of closed swimming areas is available here.
