Coronado Shoreline Closed By Health Dept. Due to Tijuana River Flow

SAN DIEGO, CA —A water contact closure in place for the Tijuana Slough, Imperial Beach Shoreline and Silver Strand Shoreline was extended Tuesday to include the Coronado Shoreline.

The Tijuana River is flowing and reaching recreational waters, county health officials said. Beachgoers were advised that the ocean water contains sewage and may cause illness. Ocean waters from the international border to Coronado will remain closed until sampling and field observations confirm the areas are safe for water contact.

The La Jolla Children's Pool remained under advisory. Beachgoers were advised that bacteria levels have exceeded state health standards and may cause illness.
