Uproar as popular California beach is closed with no end in sight

Californians have shared their disappointment after a popular beach was closed indefinitely due to major storm damage.

Refugio State Beach near Santa Barbara was shut down this week after suffering several winter storms and torrential rainfall that left huge sinkholes and toppled trees.

The state's parks department said it took the decision following 'the complete failure of an extensive culvert system', and there is 'no anticipated date of re-opening at this time.'
