Holiday Beach remains closed due to high levels of E.coli in the water, after new testing by the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit on Wednesday.
The health unit has also posted new warnings advising people not to swim at Cedar Island Beach and Seacliff Beach.
Warnings put in place July 9 at Cedar Beach and Colchester Beach remain in place after the latest round of testing.
E.Coli levels at Holiday Beach were once again 1,000 coliform units per 100 millilitres, according to the health unit's website.
Measurements at the other four beaches were:
Seacliff - 463
Cedar Island - 382

Water is considered unsafe for swimming if E.coli levels exceed 200 coliform units per 100 milliliters, a spokesperson for the health unit told CBC in an email.
Beaches are closed if E.coli levels reach 1,000.
