Beach Clean-Ups: Ocean Beach Clean-Up with Surfrider SF

Type of Experience: Beach Clean-Up

Duration of Volunteering: 2 hours

Volunteering Days: Sundays

Type of Work:

• Trash pick-up

• Trash sorting

Why I Love It: What’s better than waking up, drinking a hot cup of coffee, and heading out for a beach walk, sand massaging your feet and the sound of waves providing a soothing rumble of background noise? The fact that you’re helping to clear away trash that would otherwise litter the beach and ocean is a bonus. My recommendation? Invite some friends, catch-up while picking up trash, then enjoy a meal. You’re not required to stay the full two-hours, so adjust this activity to fit your preferences.

Make it a Game: Find the weirdest piece of trash; whoever finds the strangest garbage, wins!
