SAN DIEGO–The Department of Environmental Health has lifted the water contact closure for the Imperial Beach and Silver Strand shorelines.
This includes the beach-line from the south end of Seacoast Drive to Avenida Lunar in Coronado. Recent water quality testing conducted by environmental health staff confirms that water quality meets State health standards at these beaches. The area was recently closed to water contact due to sewage-contaminated flows from the Tijuana River entering the United States.
The ocean shoreline from the International Border to the south end of Seacoast Drive will remain closed until sampling confirms these areas are safe for water contact.
