Police have closed beaches from Jupiter Inlet to Carlin Park until further notice and are asking people to leave the area.
According to Jupiter Police, Palm Beach County Fire Rescue requested the closure after some beachgoers experienced medical issues, WPTV reports.
Jupiter Police say the reported medical issues could possibly be caused by the wind and algae.
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue says multiple people complained of respiratory and skin irritations along the beaches in northern Palm Beach County.
The Martin County Board of Commissioners issued an advisory for Hobe Sound and Bathtub Beaches on Saturday afternoon.
Officials say beachgoers are reporting respiratory issues consistent with the red tide algal bloom, which may be present. While Martin County beaches remain open to swimmers, they are advising residents with respiratory issues to avoid Hobe Sound and Bathtub Beaches at this time.
Residents and visitors are encouraged to call the Maritn County beach hotline at 772-320-3112 for updates.
