Goleta Beach County Park will partially reopen to the public today, February 9, 2023. Parking, BBQ grills, beach access, and restrooms will be open from sunrise to sunset in the area between the park entrance and pier. The parking lot at the far east end and the pier will remain closed due to damage sustained during the January 2023 storms. Repairs are underway and assessments of the pier are ongoing by the Santa Barbara County Community Services Department, Parks Division. It is anticipated to be several weeks before the east parking lot and pier can reopen safely.

Work in this area will continue Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Park visitors should be aware of large trucks entering and exiting the park and keep away from the operation area. The material in this area is unstable, and walking through the work site could lead to an injury. Work that began on Jan. 11, 2023 is expected to last until the end of March, 2023.
