The Rhode Island Department of Health is recommending a half-dozen beaches be reopened for swimming.
The Department said that bacteria counts have returned to safe levels at six beaches.
They are: Scarborough North in Narragansett, Goddard Park in Warwick, Kent County YMCA in Warwick, Sandy Point in Portsmouth, Warren Town Beach in Warren and Kingston's Camp in South Kingstown.
The Health Department says it will monitor and review beach water quality through Labor Day.
