Venice and Dockweiler Beaches Closed Today

According to today's LA Times, two miles of beach on the Santa Monica Bay are closed today due to a sewage spill early Tuesday causing high levels of bacteria in the water. The affected area includes parts of Venice Beach between the Marina del Rey entrance channel and the extension of Ironsides Street, and Dockweiler Beach between Ballona Creek and the extension of Sandpiper Street.
