Michigan summers and beach days go hand-in-hand but not every seeming oasis is a safe place to dip your toes.

Before packing a cooler, towels, sand toys and an umbrella and heading to your local beach, check this list of 10 beaches that, as of Thursday afternoon, Aug. 5, are closed or under contamination advisories for high bacteria levels.

The notifications are made as part of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy’s Beach Guard system. Each beach’s status is subject to change as new test results come in. To see an up-to-date map of the red-flagged beaches and details on the water quality tests, check the Beach Guard website here.

Dangerous swim conditions are also expected at Lake Michigan beaches on Friday.

Lake waves and strong currents are expected, especially from Holland north to Manistee.
