Be a part of the solution to marine pollution; be an ocean ambassador!

Get sandy and sun-kissed while you participate in a noble cause - collecting and categorizing marine debris! East Beach surely thanks you for your support. Bring reusable cleanup supplies, if you can, and join us for a rewarding afternoon on the beach.
