Ventura closes the beach near Surfer's Knoll

Published for Oct 23 · Until Oct 31, 11:59 PM

The City of Ventura closed part of the beach near Surfer's Knoll on October 23. River water flowing through the rock jetty is causing currents that can trap and drown people. The city asks visitors to stay out of the water and off the jetty.
