Forbes Beach in Parkwood is closed after the Barnstable County Laboratory determined it has higher than allowable E. coli bacteria levels.

Swimming at this beach could pose potentially serious health problems to certain segments of the general population, according to officials.

The recent rain events and/or migratory waterfowl are likely a contributing factor to the closures.

The main beach in Shangri-La has reopened after testing within the allowable tolerances of E. coli bacteria, according to officials.

All other beaches remain open.
