Sunday, June 1, 2014: The beaches in Westchester are open and the water is fine! Saturday, May 31, 2014: The water at the Long Island Sound beaches in Westchester is clean and the beaches are open today. So if you don’t mind cool and breezy temperatures, and cool water, enjoy!
Planning a trip to Westchester’s Long Island Sound beaches is an iffy proposition. Pollution shuts some of them regularly. Others almost never close. All are threatened by occasional and unexpected sewage mishaps.
Over the last few decades, the fisheries of Long Island Sound and our oceans have seen significant changes.
Update Monday, May 26: No rain means safe swimming, so enjoy the beach. High tide is late morning. Plenty of sun but the water is still cold!
We’re celebrating Long Island Sound Day and the official opening of beach season this weekend in style: welcome to our new Long Island Sound Pledge!
The Long Island Sound cleanup is so massive that there’s nothing one person can do to help, right? Wrong.
