Three South Florida beaches remain closed Sunday after high levels of fecal bacteria were found in the water.
Golden Beach and Crandon Beach north and south were closed Friday after the bacteria was found.
“A police car came and told me that the water is in contamination so it’s going to be closed for a while, but we didn’t know before,” said Silvia Quant, a tourist.
While some boaters were seen swimming in the water, apparently unaware of the advisory, others were content with sunbathing.
“Just now, I was going to pay and the lady told me that ‘You can’t go in the water.’ So I’m going to go to Cape Florida,” said Miguel Fernandez, a resident.
The beaches will remain closed until further notice. Be sure to download the NBC6 app to find out when the beaches will reopen.
