Swimming is restricted at Beach 8 on Presque Isle due to high E. coli levels, Presque Isle State Park officials announced Saturday morning.

The Erie County Health Department says water testing found bacteria counts above safe limits. Beach 8 is closed for swimming until further testing shows the water is safe again. Re-testing is happening daily.

Visitors can still enjoy sunbathing and other activities on the beach, but swimming is off-limits for now.

Other beaches at Presque Isle remain open for swimming.
