With Fourth of July crowds expected to flock to Los Angeles County beaches, health officials warned beachgoers to avoid entering the ocean at several locations due to elevated bacteria levels that could increase the risk of illness.
Affected Locations
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health issued ocean water warnings for several locations. Meanwhile, a warning was lifted for Solstice Creek at Dan Blocker County Beach after recent testing found water quality had returned to state standards.
Recorded information on beach conditions is available 24 hours a day on the county’s beach closure hotline, 1-800-525-5662. A map of impacted locations and additional information are available online.
