KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (WSVN) — A swimming advisory has been issued for Crandon North Beach near Key Biscayne.
Two consecutive water samples revealed higher-than-acceptable levels of enterococci bacteria, which can make swimmers sick.
“The results of the sampling indicate that water contact may pose an increased risk of illness, particularly for susceptible individuals,” a release from the Florida Department of Health said.
It is advised that beachgoers stay on shore until new tests come back clean.
