In Palm Springs, high temperatures can melt everyday items like crayons, leaving behind a colorful mess. Recently, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health issued a warning to residents about high bacteria levels in ocean waters at 18 area beaches. This advisory included popular spots like Santa Monica Pier, Malibu Lagoon, and Dockweiler State Beach.
The department noted that the bacterial levels at these beaches exceeded health standards during the most recent testing. Swimmers, surfers, and beachgoers were advised to steer clear of these locations due to health concerns. It’s essential for beach visitors to stay informed about potential health risks, especially during the summer months when bacteria levels can fluctuate.
By following the department’s guidelines and staying updated on beach conditions, residents can help ensure their safety and well-being while enjoying the sun and surf. The department also provided information and updates on beach conditions through its 24/7 beach closure hotline and on its Public Health LACounty website.
