3 Rhode Island Beaches Closed for Swimming

Three Rhode Island beaches—Briar Point, Oakland, and Easton’s—are off-limits for swimming due to dangerous bacteria levels, with officials baffled by the source since it’s not heavy rain. Waterfowl, trash, diapers, and pet waste are suspected culprits. While other nearby beaches remain open, conditions change fast, so always check the health department’s website or call before you dive. Stay safe, especially if you’re a kid, senior, or immunocompromised—watch for rashes, infections, or stomach issues if you do swim.
