Pay Beach in Oak Bluffs has been reopened to swimming after water samples taken Wednesday came back negative for elevated levels of bacteria.

The beach was ordered closed Tuesday night, following one test that revealed higher than allowable levels of enterococcus, organisms that may indicate the presence of bacteria found in sewage.

All other Island beaches remain open at this time. However, a popular children’s swimming pond in West Tisbury has also been closed to due to bacteria.

According to West Tisbury board of health agent John Powers, Seth’s Pond has been closed since July 3 due to elevated levels of enterococcus.
