California State Parks Temporarily Closes Parts of Crystal Cove State Park and San Onofre State Beach Due to Damage from High Surf and Coastal Erosion
ORANGE COUNTY – California State Parks has temporarily closed portions of Crystal Cove State Park (SP) and San Onofre State Beach (SB) following significant coastal erosion and infrastructure damage caused by recent high tides and large surf from Tropical Storm Rachel. These closures are necessary as the storm is expected to peak over the weekend and to protect public safety, prevent further damage to park facilities, and allow crews to conduct emergency repairs.
