A wave of San Diego beaches have been shut down following a disgusting discovery in the water.

City health officials released an updated advisory and closure list of beaches due to sewage creating frighteningly high levels of bacteria in the open waters.

Water contact closures were issued for Silver Strand Shoreline, Imperial Beach Shorelines, and the Tijuana Slough Shoreline, along the U.S, Mexico border.

Advisories were issued for the La Jolla, Children's Pool, Coronado, Coronado Lifeguard Tower, the Ocean Beach, Dog Beach, the San Diego River outlet, Mission Bay, North Cove, and Vacation Isle.

In Imperial Beach, the number one dirtiest beach in the country, bright yellow warning signs have been placed on the sand as sewage has been flowing in from Tijuana, Mexico, KGTV reported.

Heavy metals, toxic chemicals, and bacteria detected in the water are being released into the air and lingering in the soils. (pictured: The Tijuana Slough Shoreline)

'The level of stress when you smell the stench, when you get sick and you worry about your children, and the level of stress and the depression is real,' Dr Marvel Harrison said during a press conference on Monday.

'It’s difficult to measure, but it’s there.'

Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre and San Diego County Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer announced that they plan to work on obtaining state and federal funding to fix the century-old sewage problem in the city.

A map showing the 56 miles stretch of beautiful southern Californian coastline that's polluted

California is home to three of the most polluted beaches in the country, according to a recent survey conducted by the Surfrider Foundation

The Surfrider Foundation also found that 64 percent of the 567 sites tested had at least one sample with unsafe bacteria levels.

A quarter of the samples came from sites in California, with three beaches in The Golden State among the ten most polluted.

I hope they don’t close Black’s Beach. I went there once to observe the rocks on the cliff face on a field trip. Lots of nekkid poofters.

Even their crap is jumping the border.

Happens all the time. A gift from Mexico.

I used to swim between coronado and imperial beach in the early 1990s. it was often laden with seaweed. I wonder how much swimming goes on there now.

Sounds like provincetown but with less nice sand.

“bright yellow warning signs have been placed on the sand as sewage has been flowing in from Tijuana, Mexico, KGTV reported.”

I remember how the EPA was PUNISHING San Diego for the air pollution drifting in from TJ. That’s out bad things have become in the US.

If ya go to the beach in S. California and the water tastes like what you ate for dinner the day before, it’s time to leave.

“Imperical Beach”…???

[Karliner]

It’s similar to up here. The rivers are polluted from illegal grows and camps destroying the rivers and polluting the beaches.

[ConservativeMind]

Tijuana poop can only beautify California.

Bet the brown trout fishing’s off the hook.

A quarter of the samples came from sites in California, with three beaches in The Golden State (snort) among the ten most polluted.

On a serious note, a little bacterial waste and other pollutants can be somewhat beneficial to the hair and skin.

Poofters are immune to fecal bacteria, exposed to it constantly as they are.

Mexican sewage has been a San Diego problem for decades.

No need for fecal transplant for treatment of C.difficle infection....
....”take one gulp of imperial beach water and call me in the morning”...
