4 North Shore Beaches Closed Due To Untreated Sewage Overflow

PORT WASHINGTON, NY — Four North Shore beaches have been closed after a sewer main blockage caused untreated sewage to flow into a storm drain and out into Hempstead Harbor.

Nassau County health officials on Tuesday closed the following four beaches indefinitely as a precaution:

• North Hempstead Beach Park, Port Washington
• Tappen Beach, Glenwood Landing
• Morgan Beach, Glen Cove
• Sea Cliff Village Beach, Sea Cliff

The beaches will remain closed until the county Health Department reviews water quality samples.

To speak with a Health Department representative, call 516-227-9717 on weekdays from 9 a.m. - 4:45 p.m.
