Santa Monica's beautiful beach may look inviting, but even the L.A. County Department of Public Health will tell you to think twice before swimming. Here's why.
The body of a woman was found inside of a sleeping bag along the beach in Santa Monica. Police say her face showed visible signs of trauma.
City beach maintenance personnel found the woman unresponsive near lifeguard tower 1550, just north of the Santa Monica Pier around 7 a.m.
