Beach Bacteria Warnings Issued for Multiple Locations

Three Jersey Shore beaches, including Albany Avenue beach in Atlantic City, Philadelphia Avenue beach in Cape May, and Hollywood Avenue beach in Wildwood Crest, are under swimming advisories due to high levels of fecal bacteria. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection discovered the contamination during recent testing, likely caused by runoff from heavy rainfall. The beaches remain open pending further test results, which are expected to determine if closures are necessary.
