High bacteria levels have closed two area beaches.

The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit says water samples at Sandpoint Beach in Windsor and Seacliff Beach in Leamington. The bacteria count at these two beaches registered over the 1,000 threshold.

The health unit is not recommending swimming at six area beaches. This includes Cedar Island Beach, Colchester Beach, Hillman Marsh Beach, Holiday Beach, Lakeside Beach, and Northwest Beach.

If you’re looking to take a swim, Cedar Beach and West Belle River Beach are safe for a dip.
