The Magens Bay Authority is pleased to announce that Lindquist Beach will reopen to swimming on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, following a temporary closure due to heavy sargassum accumulation.
Over the past several days, our team has worked diligently to remove large quantities of sargassum from the shoreline and nearshore waters. While we have made significant progress, we will continue to actively monitor beach and water conditions to ensure the ongoing safety and comfort of our guests.
We thank the public for their patience and cooperation during the cleanup efforts and temporary closure. Your understanding has been greatly appreciated as we worked to restore safe swimming conditions.
Sargassum is a naturally occurring brown seaweed in the Atlantic Ocean. Although non-toxic, excessive accumulation can disrupt marine environments, produce unpleasant odors, and pose safety risks. The recent influx has impacted many areas across the Caribbean due to changing ocean patterns and nutrient levels.
