Several shoreline beaches were closed to swimming Thursday as a result of lingering water quality issues following last week’s impact of Tropical Storm Elsa.
Based on further test results that came in Thursday, no swimming will be allowed for the time being, DEEP spokeswoman Meghan Bard said. More testing will be conducted Friday.
Meanwhile, officials in Clinton closed the town beach to swimmers Wednesday and Thursday following similar reports, according to the town’s website.

MADISON When flocks of quarantine-weary beachgoers topped the limited capacity at Hammonasset State Park on busy weekends last year, officials in charge of nearby town beaches said overflow crowds brought added pressure and concerns about the virus to their shores.
In Madison, the town cut capacity limits at its largest beach in half and banned non-residents from using beach parking on the weekends and holidays. Along the coast, other towns took similar measures to limit out-of-towners from the beaches.
