The state Department of Health today recommended closing three beaches to swimming, as the thermometer climbs. The Camp Grosvenor beach in North Kingstown, and Gorton Pond Beach and Oakland Beach, both in Warwick. The three beaches all tested positive for high levels of Enterococci, bacteria that thrive in animal intestines and are, therefore, indicators of sewage contamination. Things could change any day, though, so check the Department of Health's beach monitoring Web site, or call the beach hotline, at 401-222-2751. The Web site also keeps track of previous closings and bacteria levels.
