In the past there have been lots of trash to pick up including large items, so if you have a pick up truck, please join us so we can haul out all the trash.
We will have a limited amount of trash pickers, garden gloves and 5-gal buckets to use during clean up.
Please make sure to:
— bring garden gloves (to use during trash pick-up)
— wear clothes and shoes – that you don’t mind getting wet/dirty and are appropriate for the weather that day
— don’t forget your sunscreen, hat, sunglasses
— we suggest you bring water (and snacks if you think you will get “hangry”)
— if you have your own “5-gal bucket” to use instead of trash bag please bring as well
— if you have your own “trash pickers” bring as well
This is a family oriented event and you may bring extra hands of any age (adult supervision required).
We do ask everyone to sign in when you arrive and also let us know when you leave, we encourage the “buddy system”, and recommend you use safety practices (in particular if on the water wear your safety vest at all times).
Thanks for your participation!
Paddles Up!

We are still feeling the effects of Hurricane Irma. With the recent heavy surfs, there has been massive amounts of plastic washing up from the ocean bed. Because this plastic has been circling the ocean for 4 months, it has broken down into pieces the size of colonels of corn and even smaller. It will take an ongoing community effort to tackle this problem and keep our beaches beautiful. Please come out and bring your innovative ideas on how to pick up these small pieces from our beaches. Can you fill an entire bucket?
We are challenging all Residents to the Beach Bucket Challenge… It’s basically like the ice bucket challenge but instead of ice water being dumped on your head, we are challenging you to fill a 5 gallon bucket with trash instead. “No dumping involved”. Tag your photos with #beachbucketchallenge and share them here for your chance to win prizes from local beachside businesses…
We will be heading out tomorrow at 1:00pm to pickup trash off our local beaches, and would like to challenge our local residents to do the same. Please go enjoy an afternoon on the beach with friends, at your normal home break, and donate some time to clean it up. Please invite all of your neighbors along. If we all join in together we can make a major difference.
Tag your photos with #beachbucketchallenge and share them here for your chance to win prizes from local beachside businesses.
