Briarwood and Forbes beach have been closed as of Thursday, August 2 until further notice.

Any signs posted on the beaches stating NO SWIMMING indicates no swimming. If there is not a sign posted at the beach, swimming is allowed.

The beach water will be re-sampled on Wednesday, August 8 by the Barnstable County Laboratory. Should samples indicate that water contamination is below the allowable limit, the beaches will be re-opened and signs will be removed.
