Swimming ‘Not Recommended’ at Several Tampa Bay Beaches Due to High Bacteria Levels | 10 Tampa Bay
The Florida Department of Health has issued a health advisory for several Tampa Bay beaches due to high bacteria levels in the water.
The health department does not recommend swimming at Bahia, Ben T. Davis, Davis Islands, Cypress Point, E.G. Simmons, and Picnic Island beaches. Health leaders say water samples showed above normal levels of enterococci bacteria.

Water samples will again be taken next Wednesday, Sep. 8. If bacteria levels have lowered, then the health department says the advisory will be lifted.
