The OC Health Care Agency's Environmental Health Division announced the closure Monday morning, noting that approximately 35,000 to 50,000 gallons of sewage leaked into the area due to a blocked sewer line of a restaurant in Newport Bay.
The affected area will remain closed to swimming, surfing and diving until the results of follow-up water quality monitoring meet acceptable standards.
