Bring an old colander to sift the sand for these items. This beach cleanup is family-friendly, and volunteers of all ages will find the event fun and rewarding. Please remember our ocean shores can be dangerous. Avoid logs in the water and marine mammals, and never turn your back on the ocean! Please keep dogs on a leash.

We'll be on litter patrol, cleaning benches, removing graffiti, and doing somelight gardening. This is a great way to show your support for our locally-owned small businesses of Downtown and demonstrate your community pride.
