Refugio State Beach was cleared by California State Parks to reopen next Friday, July 17, 2015 at noon.
The beach has been closed since the Plains All-American pipeline oil spill back on May 19.
State Parks and members of the Unified Command said Thursday that they completed a site assessment of the beach and deemed it safe for the public. All recreational activities can resume including swimming, camping and fishing.
Non-state park areas near Refugio will remain closed as cleanup work continues.
El Capitan State Beach was also closed following the spill. It opened on June 26.
