Disgusting warning issued for major California beaches during spring break

Several popular beaches along Los Angeles County are currently under health advisories due to unsafe bacteria levels in the water.

Officials are urging the public to stay out of the ocean in affected areas, including Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Venice and Marina del Rey.

In Marina del Rey, the swim zone at Mother’s Beach has been fully flagged, with visitors advised to avoid any contact with the water.

Testing conducted by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health found bacteria levels above state safety limits in multiple locations.

As a result, activities such as swimming, surfing and wading are strongly discouraged for now, the Santa Monica Mirror reported.

Specific warning zones include areas near the Santa Monica Pier and the Pico-Kenter storm drain, where contamination stretches roughly 100 yards in both directions.

In Pacific Palisades, impacted spots include sections of Will Rogers State Beach near storm drains and creek outlets, particularly around Towers 5 and 18.

In Venice Beach, elevated bacteria levels have also been detected near the Topsail Street extension, affecting nearby shoreline waters.

Health officials say these advisories are often triggered by runoff, sewage spills, or other pollutants that can raise bacteria levels and increase the risk of illness.

The warnings will stay in place until follow-up tests confirm the water is safe again.
