Sarasota area ‘no swim’ advisory lifted at Nokomis Public Beach 

  

SARASOTA COUNTY  A “no swim” advisory for Nokomis Beach has been lifted this afternoon. The advisory, announced Thursday, July 3, was lifted by the Florida Department of Health in Sarasota County after officials received testing results today. 

 
The results were at a satisfactory level meeting both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state recreational water standards. Residents and visitors may return to swimming and other water sports at this beach site. The “no swim” advisory signage will be removed.
