SANTA MONICA, CA – Several Los Angeles County beaches will remain under seawater use warnings Thursday, including Santa Monica State Beach, Los Angeles County Health Department officials said.

At the following beaches, it is highly recommended that you exercise caution before playing or swimming in the sea:

  • Redondo Beach on Sapphire Street
  • Inner Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro
  • Mother Beach in Marina Del Rey
