An official army family and MWR Site

Due to the recent drowning of a Joint Base Lewis-McChord service member, all JBLM beaches are closed for recreational swimming until further notice, while a safety investigation is conducted. The safety of our service members and their families is our first and foremost concern. We will reassess the closure at the end of July and follow-up accordingly.
