The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that Black Rock Beach in Point Pleasant Park has reopened to swimming.
Beach supervisors test the water quality weekly at all supervised municipal beaches during the summer months. Recent tests showed high bacteria levels in the water, but follow up tests show the water is once again safe for swimming, as per Health Canada guidelines.
Reminder: this is an unsupervised beach.
