Beach Advisory Issued for Flagler County
11 Aug
Summary
- Flagler County beach closed due to high bacteria levels.
- Enterococcus bacteria detected exceeded state recommendations.
- Advisory remains until bacteria levels return to normal.
A water quality advisory has been issued for River-to-Sea Preserve in Flagler County, Florida, by the Department of Health-Flagler. This action was prompted by recent tests conducted on August 3, 2026. The results indicated that water quality at the northeast Flagler County beach failed to meet the recreational water quality criteria for Enterococcus bacteria, as recommended by the Florida Department of Health.
Consequently, health officials are strongly advising against all water-related activities in the affected area. The advisory is in place to mitigate the increased risk of illness associated with exposure to contaminated water. This precautionary measure will remain effective until bacteria levels at the River-to-Sea Preserve beach are confirmed to be below acceptable thresholds.
