Erie County was plagued with poor air quality days, while high E. coli levels led to numerous swimming restrictions at Presque Isle State Park.
All of Presque Isle's other guarded beaches are open for swimming.
It is the first time swimming has been permitted at Beach 6 since July 11 and at Beach 8 since July 12 due to high levels of E. coli bacteria.
Sustained, high levels of E. coli bacteria caused park officials to issue swimming restrictions last week for three park beaches.
Advisories are updated weekly.
