Middletown beach re-opened to swimming

The state Department of Health today recommended re-opening the Atlantic Beach Club Beach in Middletown to swimming, after finding bacteria levels within acceptable limits.

Still closed to swimming are Barrington Town Beach, Bristol Town Beach and Warren Town Beach, all East Bay-area beaches.

Re-opened on Sunday was Easton's Beach in Newport, just down the shore from the Atlantic Beach Club.

Beach status could change at any time, the Health Department reminds, as it continues its testing. For up-to-date information about swimming at Rhode Island beaches, go to the beach closings page on the department's Web site, or for recorded information, call (401) 222-2751.
