Jersey Shore Beaches Closed After Storm | New York City News
Description
Heavy rain from recent storms flooded storm drains, sending sewage and wildlife waste into the ocean and forcing closures at popular Jersey Shore beaches in Highlands, Sea Girt, and Belmar. While enterococcus bacteria — a sign of contamination — isn’t always directly harmful, swimming in polluted water can cause stomach issues or skin infections. Some beachgoers skipped the sand for water parks, while others were left stranded on the shore. Thankfully, Highlands and Sea Girt have reopened after water tests confirmed safe levels, but officials urge caution and awareness after heavy weather.
