Beaches in Los Angeles County Declared Safe for Swimming After Fire Advisory Lifted
April 10, 2025 - 10:04
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has announced that the ocean water advisory, which was in effect for the stretch of coastline from Las Flores State Beach to Santa Monica State Beach, has been officially lifted. This decision comes after thorough testing and assessments of the water quality in the area, ensuring that it meets safety standards for recreational activities.
Health officials conducted extensive monitoring following recent wildfires that raised concerns about potential contaminants in the ocean water. The tests have confirmed that the water is now safe for swimming and other water-related activities. Residents and visitors can once again enjoy the beautiful beaches without the worry of health risks associated with contaminated water.
Local authorities are encouraging beachgoers to remain vigilant about water quality and to stay informed about any future advisories. The lifting of the advisory marks a positive step toward the recovery of the region's natural resources and the return to normalcy for the community.
