Several Michigan beaches are under bacteria advisories — or are closed — as Michiganders head into the start of the Labor Day weekend.
In a state with more than 1,000 beaches, state officials say seven public and private beaches in counties across both peninsulas aren't fit for swimming as of Friday, Aug. 29 — likely because of wildlife contamination, according to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy, which provides information via an online dashboard.

Four Mile Beach, Chippewa County
