RIDOH Recommends Reopening Burlingame Beach

Published on Friday, August 18, 2023

The Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) recommends reopening the beach at Burlingame Picnic and Campground in Charlestown because bacteria counts have returned to safe levels.

RIDOH will monitor and review beach water quality through Labor Day. The status of a beach may change as new data become available. The most up-to-date beach information is available through a recorded message on RIDOH’s beaches telephone line (401-222-2751). A list of closed beaches can also be accessed at health.ri.gov.
