The beaches from 35th Street to 9th Street remain closed. Beaches south of 35th Street opened at 1:00 p.m. Friday.
In Ocean City, officials found four needles and closed all beaches until 2:00 p.m.

"If anyone is stuck, they should contact their doctor immediately," said Kevin Thomas from the Health Department.
Meanwhile, one needle washed up in Strathmere today, closing the beach at 22nd street, and one also washed up in Sea Isle City, closing the beaches at First and Second Streets.
