Bacteria forces beach closures

The weather may be beach-perfect but the beaches aren't.

About two dozen beaches in 16 coastal communities are closed due to elevated bacteria levels. Heavy rains earlier this week caused the problem.

You can see a list of beach closures at the Department of Public Health's website.
