Swimming Advisory Lifted Buckroe Beach North and Mid
HAMPTON, Va. – The Hampton Health District has obtained outcomes from sampling accomplished on Wednesday, June 24, 2026. These outcomes point out that micro organism ranges within the water at Buckroe Beach North and Mid meet the state water high quality requirements for leisure waters. The swimming advisory is now not in impact at these places. Please be suggested that Buckroe South remains to be beneath an advisory at the moment.
Environmental well being officers pattern Buckroe North, Buckroe South, Buckroe Middle, Fort Monroe, and Salt Ponds public seashores on a weekly foundation through the swimming season from May to September.
Residents are reminded to look at the next tips as they benefit from the summer time swimming season:
- Do not swim in water that appears stagnant, muddy, or smells disagreeable.
- Avoid swallowing river, stream, lakes, or different leisure water.
- Prevent direct contact between damaged pores and skin and leisure water.
- Avoid swimming in pure water our bodies (rivers, streams, lakes, and many others.) for a number of days after heavy rainfall.
Residents are inspired to verify present advisories earlier than visiting native seashores.
