Salisbury Beach is OPEN for swimming!
Posted on: July 1, 2026 - 8:50pm
Water quality tests have confirmed safe, normal bacteria levels, and the beach is officially cleared just in time for the Fourth of July weekend.
The City of Haverhill has completed a sewer bypass to stop overflows into the Merrimack River, and state and local teams will continue monitoring water quality to keep our community safe.
Enjoy the sunshine, support local Salisbury businesses, and have a fantastic holiday weekend at the beach!
