No Swimming at 2 NJ Beaches

Heavy rainfall at the shore has sent bacteria levels soaring causing two Ocean County beaches to close.

There will be no swimming at Waretown and A. King Park beaches Thursday.

The Ocean City Health Department closed the beaches because of high levels of bacteria in the water.

Advisories were posted for the for Harry Wright Lake High and Low beaches, although they remain open.

The beaches that are open in Ocean County include Pine Beach and Beachwood Beach West -- all of which were closed on Tuesday because of bacteria levels.

High levels of bacteria are entering the water because of the heavy amount of rainfall the area has received recently.
