The Chatham County Health Department has lifted the advisory for Middle Beach at Center Terrace, which extends from Lovell Street to 11th Street on Tybee Island.
The advisory was issued on October 4, 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 showed the bacteria levels had dropped below Environmental Protection Agency’s recommended limits. Therefore, the advisory has been lifted.
