A DAY AT THE BEACH

Saturday, March 27, on orders from the L.A. County Health Department, L.A. County lifeguards posted signs at the Pico-Kenter storm drain outlet on the beach south of Santa Monica Pier, warning people to stay out of the ocean in that area. At presstime, the signs were still in place.
