According to DEHQ, recent water quality testing has confirmed that the ocean water is safe for recreational use following recent sewage impacts.
The water was closed for three months due to ocean water samples exceeding state health standards.
The Tijuana River enters San Diego County from Mexico and flows through the southernmost part of the county before it empties into the Pacific Ocean.
