SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif.– East Beach is closed to the public due to a sewage spill in Sycamore Creek, according to the Santa Barbara Public Health Department.

The beach is within a quarter mile of the sewage spill response at Sycamore Creek.

Officials believe it has been leaking since Jan. 9, but exact date of the start of the leak is unclear.
