Beach Advisory Lifts at 8 AM — Weekend Waterfront Music Ahead
Sea Cliff, NY · August 22, 2026
Cloud cover hovers over the harbor this morning, but clear waters are back on the menu as beach advisories expire early today. There is plenty happening along the bluff as the weekend gets underway.
The Lead
After heavy rainfall swept through the region on Friday, the Nassau County Department of Health issued a precautionary bathing advisory for 20 local beaches, including Sea Cliff Village Beach, Sea Cliff Yacht Club Beach, and nearby waterfronts in Glen Cove and Glenwood Landing. Stormwater runoff can briefly elevate bacteria levels, prompting officials to pause swimming along the North Shore.
The advisory is scheduled to lift at 8:00 AM today, provided morning water samples confirm bacteria levels meet state standards and no additional heavy rain hits the area. For residents planning a Saturday by the Sound, lifeguards will resume standard supervision once gates open. Up-to-date recorded status reports remain accessible through the county health department's dedicated hotline throughout the day.
