Several miles of coastline spanning from Malibu to Santa Monica have been closed indefinitely due to the risk of toxic materials and pollutants from wildfires that burned in the area in recent months.

The ocean water along roughly eight miles of prime Los Angeles coastline remained off-limits indefinitely due to the recent rains and fire debris.

Because of debris runoff from fire zones, public health officials issued an advisory and closed several miles of coastline from Malibu to Playa del Rey.

The ocean water remained off-limits Thursday at beaches stretching from Malibu to Santa Monica due to the recent rains and fire debris carried to the coast, while a water quality advisory was in effect for all beaches as far south as Playa del Rey.
