Each beach is monitored and sampled every week, except for Rockaway and Breezy Point beaches, which are sampled twice each week. Samples are tested for bacteria, debris, animal waste, medical or infectious waste, toxic contaminants, petroleum products, and sewage and wastewater discharge following heavy rainfall. | ||

When water has high levels of bacteria, the Health Department issues an advisory. This means swimming and wading are not recommended, but the beach is open. In some instances, the City may close a beach for swimming. | ||
