Broadkill Beach Recreational Water Advisory

A recreational water advisory was issued for Broadkill Beach. I would say this also applies to Beach Plum Island State Park just to be safe. Anglers wear your waders or boots if you are going to expose yourself to the water long term. Like stand in it and fish all day.

Description: Recreational Water Advisory
Comments: A water quality advisory has been issued for Broadkill Beach following bacterial results which were above the recreational water quality standard. These bacteria most likely originate from wildlife sources and increased rainfall, waves or wildlife feeding near the surf (shorebirds, marine mammals or other warm blooded animals) can result in these indicator bacteria washing into the near shore waters. A water quality sample has been taken at Broadkill Beach and the advisory will be lifted once indicator bacteria levels are within the recreational water limits.
