Our Surfrider Monterey beach cleanups have now shifted from the fourth Sunday of each month to the fourth Saturday of each month. They'll continue to run from 10AM - 12PM at rotating beaches around the county.
Our local beaches are stewarded by volunteers just like you! We welcome you to an engaging day along the coast with family, friends, and new acquaintances, raising awareness about pollution and cleaning our beaches.
By taking practical action to protect the environment, your collection efforts allow Surfrider to use data to influence laws and reduce waste at the source!
