DNREC has issued a recreational water advisory for Delaware coastal beaches – including Rehoboth Beach in relation to the medical waste that has washed ashore since Sunday. This advisory is for one week. Beach access will remain open in Rehoboth Beach, however swimming and wading in the ocean are not advised. Rehoboth Beach Patrol members who remain on duty through this coming weekend, will prohibit access to the ocean due to rough surf conditions as well. Visitors are encouraged to wear closed-toe shoes while medical debris continues to come ashore.
