Beach Cleanups

Join us at the beach, and  help us leave it better.

From Imperial Beach to Oceanside, we hold up to six public beach cleanups county wide every month.

  • 1st Saturday of each month in Ocean Beach and Oceanside
  • 3rd Saturday of each month in Imperial Beach and Encinitas
  • 4th Saturday of each month in Tamarack State Beach
  • 4th Saturday of each month in Pacific Beach (Every other month + Summer)

Beach cleanups are dependent on our volunteer site captain availability and are subject to change. For the most up to date information and to register for a beach cleanup, visit our volunteer portal below:
