DANA POINT
A 200-foot stretch of Capistrano County Beach Park has reopened after a 50-gallon sewage spill closed the beach June 26.
The beach was reopened late Thursday afternoon after the Orange County Health Agency determined bacteria levels were within state guidelines, according to Monica Mazur of the agency.
In May, an estimated 8,000 gallons of sewage closed a portion of Capistrano County Beach for four days.
Since the first of the year, sewage spills have closed portions of Dana Point’s beaches seven times.
