The Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) recommends closing Gooseberry Beach in Newport for swimming because of high bacteria levels.

This is the first beach closure notification of the year from RIDOH.

RIDOH will continue to monitor and review beach water quality regularly to ensure safe bathing throughout the summer season.

The status of a beach may change as new data become available.

The most up-to-date beach information is available through a recorded message on RIDOH's beach telephone line (401-222-2751).
