Santa Barbara County beaches in Isla Vista will be closed Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the Deltopia event expected this weekend.
County officials have revised their initial closure to include Sunday.
The beach closures are in place to protect the environment from damage while many are expected to gather for the yearly celebration. Officials say Deltopia is neither sanctioned nor sponsored by the county, and no approved permits have been issued.
UPDATE: Beaches at Isla Vista will now be closed Friday, 4/01—Sunday, 4/03 due to Deltopia. UCSB beaches Campus Point and Sands will also be closed. The beaches will be closed to protect public health and safety and to protect the beach from excessive waste and litter. pic.twitter.com/5WXthYwj1M
