The Glynn County Health Department has lifted the beach water advisories for Fifth Street Crossover Beach (Cedar Street to Ninth Street) and South Beach at the Lighthouse (Ninth Street to the pier).
The advisories were issued on August 30, 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 advisories have been lifted.
