Isla Vista beaches in Santa Barbara County will be closed from April 5 to 7 due to the unauthorized Deltopia event.

Isla Vista beaches in Santa Barbara County will be closed from April 5 to 7 due to the unauthorized Deltopia event. This decision aims to prevent a repeat of the 2009 Floatopia incident, which left beaches littered with trash, including human waste, due to a lack of public health and sanitation provisions. The Santa Barbara County Community Services Department and Sheriff's Office will enforce the closure.
