Southampton Beach remains unsafe for people and pets

Water sampling includes water for the Southampton Beach from High St. to Beach Road. In addition, water testing came back as safe to swim for Gobles Grove and Port Elgin Main Beach.

Residents and visitors should refrain from swimming or playing in the beach water at Southampton Beach or let pets drink the water until the no-swimming advisory is lifted.

The beach will remain posted until further samples return with levels within the acceptable range for swimming/bathing. Public Health plans to resample the beach early next week.
