The Florida Department of Health in Manatee County Jan. 11 lifted an advisory against swimming at Palma Sola South, the beach on the south side of the Palma Sola Causeway/Manatee Avenue.
Such advisories are issued when contact with the water at the site could make beachgoers sick.
The DOH-Manatee received test results from samples taken Jan. 3 that showed an elevated level of enterococci bacteria, which can result in human disease, infections and rashes.
The advisory, issued Jan. 6, remained in effect until the water met federal Environmental Protection Agency safety guidelines, according to a news release.
Other beaches located in Manatee County are not under advisory.
