SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (FOX 2) - The Fourth of July weekend is nearly here and, with temperatures pushing 90 this week and for the holiday weekend, the beach might sound like a great spot to be. Just make sure the water you're swimming in is safe.
Af of noon on Thursday, June 30, 3 Michigan beaches are closed and 2 others are under advisory due to contamination issues. The data, according to the state of Michigan's Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy BeachGuard, website, is updated throughout the day.
The beaches closed include St. Clair Shores' Memorial Park Beach on Lake St. Clair in Macomb County. This closure is due to high bacteria levels and was closed on Tuesday.
