Georgia Coastal Resources Division issued the following announcement on Mar. 10.
The Glynn County Health Department has lifted the beach water advisory for South Beach at the Lighthouse on St. Simons Island, which is from 9th Street to the pier.
The advisory was issued on March 8, 2022, after routine water quality tests showed a high level of enterococci bacteria which increase the risk of gastrointestinal illness in swimmers.
Subsequent water samples taken showed that the bacteria levels had dropped below Environmental Protection Agency’s recommended limits. Therefore, the advisory has been lifted.
