The Westchester County Department of Health (DOH) has closed the beach at Coveleigh Club in for Wednesday, September 2nd, 2026 due to 0.89 inches of rainfall in the prior 24 hours. The DOH preemptively closed the beach, along with others in Mamaroneck and New Rochelle, due to the heavy rainfall.
The Coveleigh Club beach has been closed repeatedly this summer after various heavy rainfalls.
Heavy rains and discharges from stormwater drains directly affect Long Island Sound waters. As a result, these waters may contain high levels of harmful bacteria that may cause illness after a heavy rain. The bacterial contamination is from road runoff into drainage outfalls near these beaches.
These beaches are allowed to re-open on their own on September 3 unless there is significant additional rainfall.
Threshold levels have been established by the DOH to promote a guide for the closing of beaches located within the protected area of Mamaroneck Harbor, the open water of Coveleigh and Davenport Neck in New Rochelle.
- Greater than 1/2 inch of rain = 1 day closure
- Greater than 1 inch of rain = 2 day closure
- Greater than 2 inches of rain = to be determined
If you plan on going to Coveleigh or other nearby beaches after a rainfall, check to make sure they are open by calling the beach.
