The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, through its Beach Monitoring Program, has lifted beach water contact advisories for Biloxi West Central Beach and Biloxi East Central Beach.

Water samples at the stations show that the areas have reached acceptable bacteria levels.

Again, the ADVISORIES have been LIFTED for: 

  • Biloxi West Central Beach — The associated beach is from Travia St eastward to Iberville Dr. (Station 12A)
  • Biloxi East Central Beach — The associated beach is from St. Peter Street eastward to Dukate Street. (Station 12B)

Swimmers are reminded that the Beach Task Force has a standing recommendation that swimming should not occur during or within 24 hours of significant rainfall.
