The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection says that a beach in Long Beach remains closed to swimming because of high levels of bacteria.

Samples from the bay at Stockton Beach exceeded water quality standards, according to the DEP.

The DEP previously issued advisories for L Street Beach in Belmar, South Bath Avenue Beach in Long Branch, Brooklyn Avenue Beach in Lavallette and Hancock Avenue Beach in Seaside Heights.

Those beaches are once again open for swimming.
