RI Department of Heath - Beach Season Closures

Be sure to take a look at this webpage if you’re planning to swim at a Rhode Island beach after we’ve had heavy rain.

The RI Department of Health monitors water quality at several popular beaches. Storm water runoff often contaminates both coastal & Bay  beaches, lakes and ponds in the region.

Stay safe & healthy by knowing the status of your favorite spots.
