Sailboat washes ashore in Playa del Rey

An abandoned sailboat washed ashore in Playa del Rey.

An investigation is underway after a 35-foot boat washed ashore a Los Angeles beach over the weekend. 

The abandoned boat was discovered by Los Angeles County lifeguards around 1:50 a.m. Saturday at Dockweiler Beach in LA's Playa del Rey neighborhood.

According to officials, the vessel matched the description of a boat that was anchored and abandoned outside the surfline days beforehand. 

Right now authorities are working to locate the owner and coordinate removing the boat. 

People are advised to avoid the area until the boat is removed.
