LOS ANGELES — Santa Barbara County officials have closed the beaches in Isla Vista over the weekend in anticipation of Deltopia, the raucous spring break party that has drawn thousands of local college students each year.
Beaches will be closed Friday through Sunday because of Deltopia, which isn't a sanctioned event and doesn't have permits, according to a county news release.
"The beaches will be closed to protect public health and safety, and to protect the beach from excessive waste and litter," officials wrote.
