Bacteria levels remain high at several Los Angeles County beaches, and officials are warning the public to stay out of the water.

Visitors should not swim, surf or play in ocean waters at the following sites, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health:

  • The entire swim area near Marie Canyon Storm Drain at Puerco Beach

  • 100 yards up and down the coast of Santa Monica Canyon Creek at Will Rogers State Beach

    • This location is near Will Rogers Tower 18

  • The entire swim area at Mothers Beach in Marina Del Rey

“These warnings have been issued due to bacterial levels exceeding health standards when last tested,” Public Health said.

Warnings for one beach, however, have recently been lifted. Inner Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro has returned to acceptable water quality levels.
