San Diego County health officials released an updated water contact closure and advisory list for county beaches in effect Saturday.

Beach closures

Water contact closures have been issued for the following locations due to bacteria levels exceeding health standards:

-- Coronado Shoreline, ocean shoreline from Avenida Lunar to North Beach;

-- Silver Strand Shoreline, ocean shoreline from Carnation to Avenida Lunar;

-- Imperial Beach Shorelines, ocean shoreline from south end of Seacoast Drive to Carnation Avenue;

-- Tijuana Slough Shoreline, ocean shoreline from U.S./Mexico border, including Border Field State Park and the Tijuana Slough National Wildlife Refuge.

We’re all familiar with the yellow signs that kept beaches from the border to Coronado closed for weeks – even months at a time this year. NBC 7 reporter Joe Little took a deep dive into the sewage crisis at our border.

Water contact advisories

Additionally, water contact advisories have been issued for the following locations due to bacteria levels exceeding health standards:

-- La Jolla, Children's Pool;

-- La Jolla, Cove Beachline;

-- Mission Bay, Campland Beachline;

-- Mission Bay, De Anza Cove - swim area;

-- Mission Bay, Tecolote Shores - swim area;

-- San Diego Bay, Tidelands Park Shoreline;

-- Crown Cove - Silver Strand (bayside), Crown Covel.

Beaches are once again closed from Coronado to Imperial Beach partly because of the rain runoff from this week’s storms, but mostly because of the raw sewage flowing from Tijuana. As part of our ongoing “toxic tide” special coverage, NBC 7’s Joe Little took a deep dive into the decades-old problem and searched for solutions.
