Despite planned parks closures by state, Twin Lakes access likely to remain

While the state has drawn up plans to shutter a quarter of California's cherished state parks and beaches - including Twin Lakes State Beach - don't expect tracts of white sand to be interrupted by posted "No Trespassing" signs.
When it comes to beaches, the budget-driven closures are shaping up as something less than total, with state law protecting residents' access to the shore and parks officials tacitly acknowledging that keeping people off the beach isn't going to happen. And there are wrinkles that could prevent the state from closing several parks on the list.
"To close a park really just means 'Use at your own risk,'" said Santa Cruz County Supervisor Mark Stone said, also a member of the California Coastal Commission. "The only real issue is who's going to pick up the trash."
Three local parks - Twin Lakes State Beach, which includes Seabright Beach, Blacks Beach and Schwann Lagoon; Castle Rock State Park; and the Santa Cruz Mission - are on the closure list. In addition, nearby beaches at Zmudowski State Beach and Moss Landing State Beach are on the list as well.
