The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection on Tuesday closed Beachwood West, Summit and West Beach on the Jersey Shore due to exceedingly high levels of enterococci, a bacteria known to cause UTIs and meningitis.

More than 30 other beaches received advisories.

As of Friday afternoon there were no closures and no advisories.
