Summer 2009: Long Island and NYC Beach Closings

KW: I can’t seem to find a way to get automatic alerts or updates. Seems like a need to fill. Because, when I search, Newsday and our blog are the only place to find that info.

For now, the only way I have been told to check on Long Island beach closings is to call the parks directly (it is not even always on their web-sites.) Phone numbers I have:

Jones Beach: (516) 785-1600

Robert Moses Beach: (631) 669-0470

Newsday daily paper in Long Island often covers Nassau/Suffolk beach closings.

How to get NYC beach reports at the bottom of the post, or go: here.
