Miami Beach A swimming advisory has been lifted for 73rd Street in Miami Beach after a series of water tests gave the all-clear, health officials said. The advisory was issued for North Shore Ocean Terrace on Oct. 19 and lifted on Tuesday afternoon 'based on satisfactory microbial water quality test results.' The stretch of beach is just east of the Miami Beach Bandshell. Water samples from the 73rd Street beach had exceeded the standard for enterococci, the scientifc term for poop bacteria. Health officials ordered the no-swimming advisory last week because the bacteria could make people sick, especially those who have a weakened immune system or open wounds.
