Michigan Beaches Closed or Under Advisories This Weekend

This weekend, ten beaches across Michigan are closed or under advisories due to health concerns, despite the warm weather that is expected to give a mid-summer feel to the air. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has reported elevated levels of bacteria in the water at several popular beach locations, prompting these closures and advisories.

Among the affected areas are beaches in counties such as Kent, Berrien, and Van Buren, where high E. coli counts have been detected. Local health departments are monitoring the situation closely, and beachgoers are advised to stay informed through official channels before visiting. The warm temperatures may attract many to the water, but safety remains a priority as officials work to ensure the health of the public.

Visitors to Michigan’s beaches are encouraged to check for updates and advisories to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. The state continues to monitor water quality and will provide updates as conditions change.
