West Islanders who hit the beach out in Île-Bizard were out of luck Thursday morning, as the municipal beach there is closed.

In other parts of Montreal, the beach at Parc Jean-Drapeau is open, as is the Clock Tower Beach at the Old Port. While the Clock Tower location features sand and refreshing mist, swimming is not allowed.

Longueuil’s municipal beach is also closed due to unusually high water levels. According to a news release on the city’s website, the beach will remain closed until mid-July.
