Fort Adams State Park in Newport brings to four the number of areas closed to swimming because of high bacteria counts, the state Department of Health said Wednesday.
Bristol Town Beach, Goddard Memorial State Park and Gorton Pond Beach, both in Warwick, have been closed to swimmers since Tuesday.
Health officials will continue to monitor water quality and reopen the beaches when they are safe for swimming.
