Refugio State Beach in Santa Barbara County is closed as crews repair winter storm damage.
One of California's most popular state beaches in Santa Barbara County remains closed as crews repair extensive winter storm damage, but officials are hoping to reopen it later this summer. Refugio State Beach — on a pristine stretch of coastline — was inundated by extreme rain and flooding in February that caused a 'complete failure' of a culvert system, resulting in numerous sinkholes, according to the state park's website.
In addition to the culvert damage at the state beach, 10 canary date palms were blown down this winter and an additional 14 were removed by a contractor at the direction of a forester, Moreno said. There are more than 200 canary date palms at Refugio. The state beach has experienced other damage in recent years. Storms that swept through in January 2023 caused $7.
