The fire destroyed 1,643 structures,[3] killed three people, and prompted the evacuation of more than 295,000 people. It was one of several fires in California that ignited on the same day.[4][5]
The 2018 fire burned through almost the entire park. The equipment for the Junior Lifeguard program that was destroyed in the fire was replaced by a donation from a group of Australian surf lifeguard associations, led by the Maroochydore Surf Life Saving Club.[6] The campgrounds reopened after work crews spent seven months removing debris and cleaning up.[7]
Recreation
Leo Carrillo State Park offers swimming, surfing, windsurfing, surf fishing, and beachcombing. Beachgoers can explore tide pools, sea caves, and reefs. Inland there is a campground and backcountry hiking trails.[1]
