Good for all ages! No need to register...just show up! You can park for just one dollar at Golden Gate Fields racetrack that day. (Enter on Buchanan Street and then walk back out to our sign-in table on the bluff overlooking the beach.)
Bring a sieve, bucket, and gloves if you have them or use ours. Bring a water bottle...there's no drinking water at the Albany waterfront.
Wear shoes...there may be sharp items.
Note that there are often dogs playing in the water. If you bring your own dog, please don't let it interfere with beach cleaners or sand globe makers.
Environmental artist Zach Pine will lead a free, fun workshop for beach cleaners on how to make sand globes (big balls of sand the size of a small melon).
The cleanup along the paved shoreline trail and the sand globe workshop area are wheelchair-accessible. (We'll try to have "grabbers" available to make it easier to pick up trash seated or standing.) The new bathrooms are accessible.
This beach cleanup is coordinated by Albany Landfill Dog Owners Group (ALDOG) in collaboration with East Bay Regional Park District, the Albany Beach kiteboarding community, Love the Bulb, Samavesha Community Program, Wholly H20, and environmental artist Zach Pine.
ALDOG is a California Coastal Commission adopter of Albany Beach and a project of Point Isabel Dog Owners (PIDO), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Description
Point Isabel Dog Owners Association and Friends (PIDO) formed in 1985 to advocate for recreational dogwalking at Point Isabel and around the San Francisco Bay Area. PIDO became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2000 and has approximately 6,000 members.
