Dive Into Action with Surfrider Monterey
Whether you’re looking to get your hands salty, expand your mind, or simply connect with fellow ocean lovers, there is a seat (or a sandy spot) waiting for you. As a 100% volunteer-led chapter, our impact is fueled by your energy. Come find out how your unique skills can help us protect the ocean, waves, and beaches we all love.
The ocean, waves, and beaches aren’t just our playground, they’re our responsibility. At the Surfrider Foundation, we believe that every coastal victory begins with a single person who decides to show up. Whether you’re a surfer, a swimmer, or someone who just loves the feeling of sand between your toes, our mission depends on your passion.
We are a powerful grassroots network of activists, scientists, and neighbors working together to ensure our coastlines remain healthy and accessible for all people. From the frontlines of plastic pollution to the vital work of water quality testing, our volunteers are the "boots on the ground" who turn environmental threats into coastal victories.
Our success is built on inclusion, vibrant problem-solving, and a deep-seated love for the coast. We don’t just play; we win. But we can’t do it alone. Join the largest network of coastal defenders in the world and help us protect what you love.
