Four East Bay beaches remain closed

It may be sunny out, but four beaches are off-limits for health's sake, according to the state Health Department.

Atlantic Beach Club in Middletown, and the Barrington, Bristol and Warren Town Beaches are still closed due to high bacteria counts.

The beaches were closed to swimmers Friday after heavy rains washed pollutants into the water.

The Health Department will continue to monitor water quality.

For up-to-date information on which of the state's beaches are closed, and when they reopen, visit the state's beach monitoring site at www.ribeaches.org or call the beach closure hotline at 222-2751
