NANTUCKET ISLAND – In light of recent reports, the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce would like to assure the public that miles and miles of Nantucket’s wonderful East, West and South Shore beaches and waters, including Madaket Beach, Cisco Beach, Miacomet Beach, South Shore Beach, Surfside Beach, Fisherman’s Beach, Nobadeer Beach, Madequecham Beach, Low Beach & Siasconset Beach are clean and safe for enjoyment. Public transportation is available to Siasconset, Madaket and Surfside beaches.
An advisory was issued for handful of island North Shore beaches yesterday due to reported high levels of bacteria revealed in recent water-quality testing conducted by the town health department. An error in the testing is highly suspected and a new round of tests will be conducted Monday.
