VIRGINIA BEACH — Both swimming and wading advisories issued Wednesday for sections of Chic’s Beach have now been lifted, the city announced.

A new test of the area from the end of the 5000 block of Ocean View Avenue to Mortons Road returned acceptable bacteria levels Friday.

The area near the Lynnhaven Inlet from Starfish Road to Rockbridge Road also returned acceptable levels Thursday.

Signs at both locations warning the public about the advisories have been removed.
