HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.—As the operation to clean up the Huntington Beach oil spill proceeds, county residents and visitors reflect on the accident.

The shore of Huntington Beach remains closed to the public with yellow caution tape, prohibiting beachgoers from crossing. Despite the tape, bystanders were observed walking through the water and sitting near the shoreline as if the oil spill hadn’t occurred.
