Every Seaside Heights beach will be closed to swimmers Thursday for the first time in over 20 years

There will be no swimming at any ocean beach in Seaside Heights Thursday, an occurrence that has not happened in over 20 years, the borough's mayor announced Wednesday evening. The swimming ban will be in effect at all of the borough's ocean beaches, but not its bay beaches, due to "negative water quality tests," Mayor Anthony Vaz said on the borough's official Facebook page.
