Georgia Coastal Resources Division issued the following announcement on Dec. 28.
The Glynn County Health Department has lifted the beach water advisory for South Beach at the Lighthouse (9th Street to the pier) on St. Simons Island. The advisory was issued on December 21, 2021, after routine water quality tests showed a high level of enterococci bacteria which increase the risk of gastrointestinal illness in swimmers.
Subsequent water samples showed the bacteria levels had dropped below Environmental Protection Agency’s recommended limits, therefore, the advisory has been lifted.
