MANHATTAN BEACH, CA — Due to all of the recent rainfall, Los Angeles County Health Officer Muntu Davis, MD, MPH, is cautioning residents to steer clear of the ocean until 7 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 1.

Going in the water in such areas can make people sick. Recorded information on beach conditions is available 24 hours a day on the County's beach closure hotline at 1-800-525-5662.
