SOURCE INFORMATION

Tier III beaches are sampled twice per season.

The Rhode Island Department of Health does not share weekly test results. Only official beach advisories are shared publicly. The current threshold for triggering a possible advisory is 60 CFU of enterococcus per 100ml of marine water. When a test result exceeds this threshold, resamples are taken and other factors, such as weather and water conditions, are used to determine whether an official advisory should be issued.

Swim Guide does not actively update Rhode Island beaches.

Please note that smoking is banned at all Rhode Island public beaches.
