For San Pedro residents, the news of the sewage spill in their local beach's water was nothing more than devastating. The spill was caused by the breaking of a sewer line. Inner Cabrillo Beach is utilized by many families during the summer, especially since the ocean is calm and flat which is safe for their young children. With the temperature increasing, these families will not be able to use the inner part of the beach as a source to cool down and have some fun. There is an outer part to the beach, however it is used more for surfing.
The City of San Pedro is a popular tourist attraction, yet now with beach closed down as result of the sewage spill, the tourist population may decrease. The beach will remain closed until further noticed by public health officials. It is advised to stay out of the water until 5 pm Thursday.
