On behalf of the Lord of the Wind crew we want to get the word out that the beach road will be CLOSED to all vehicles/quads beginning Tuesday from SOUTH of Barracuda Blvd to North of the event access road in the first arroyo where it meets the beach. From now on, Barracuda Blvd is not an event access road for any vehicles as it is for medical evacuation ONLY. Please plan to park in the arroyo access road or walk in from the north or south on the beach at the fence lines.
