Litter prevention is key, but until we can stop all litter at the source, there will be a need for beach cleanups to protect coastal habitats and keep our beaches enjoyable to visit.
Announcing our 2025 beach cleanups!
Our first beach sweep is in partnership with Keep Surfside Beach Beautiful #KSBB on Saturday, April 26th
8 AM-10 AM, 3rd Avenue North Beach access, Surfside Beach.
SAVE THESE DATES!
Grand Strand Surfrider beach cleanups will be held Saturday May 10, Saturday June 7
(World Ocean Day is June 8!), and Saturday July 5. Locations TBD.
Volunteers are strongly encouraged to collect data from all beach cleanups!
Help us keep track of what you collect by entering in your beach cleanup data. This data helps us identify trends and advocate for policy changes to prevent litter.
