Posted / Closed Beaches

When a swimming advisory is issued, a beach will be posted with a sign indicating that it is “Unsafe for Swimming”. It is recommended that residents use another beach or stay out of the water until the posting is removed.

While swimming advisories are recommendations, beaches can be closed to the public. These closures occur in rare instances where there may be an immediate health hazard to the public, such as a chemical or sewage spill.

Beach statuses are also available on:

  • Niagara Region Beach Hotline at 905-688-8248 ext 7789 or 1-888-505-6074 ext. 7789
  • Signage posted at each beach

Weather Conditions can Affect Test Results

Beach water testing results may not always be accurate as conditions can change quickly due to the weather.

Test results are intended as general guidance. Residents are encouraged to consider the current weather and posting status of the beach before deciding to enter the water. If there was heavy rain within the last 24 – 48hrs, high winds or water clarity is poor, swimming is not recommended.
