If you're planning on heading to the beach today, News 12 has some
closures to tell you about.
Benjamin Beach in Bay Shore is now off limits to swimming after
high bacteria levels were found in the water.
Bayport Beach in Bayport also remains closed to swimmers.
Suffolk County health officials say bathing in
