Beach and marine info as you plan your weekend

On this beautiful beach weekend, nearly all beaches around the state are open and ready for sunbathers, swimmers and surfers. Just the GINNY-B Campground Beach in Foster, which the state Health Department recommended closing yesterday because of high bacteria counts, is closed today, according to the department’s Web site.

To check the status of any beach for swimming, go to the department’s beach-monitoring site or call (401) 222-2751 for recorded information.

If you’re looking for marine weather information, check out the National Weather Service’s interactive coastal marine map for this region.

Also, for all your nautical needs, boaters love the Maine Harbors site, which is packed with tide charts, marine weather news, information on fishing tournaments and links to local boat builders, charter operators, lighthouses and publications. The tide charts on this site are so well done that boaters rave about them. Check out Rhode Island’s chart.
