Westchester’s Health Department said in a news release the following beaches will be closed Wednesday:
∎ In Mamaroneck: Harbor Island, Beach Point Club, Orienta Beach Club, and Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club
∎ In Rye: Coveleigh Club

The beaches will be allowed to reopen Thursday, June 25, “unless significant additional rainfall is observed,” the county health department said.
