The 30-Minute Beach Cleanup increases public awareness and a sense of responsibility for the environment, while promoting community spirit. The 30-Minute Beach Cleanup meets at the end of Granada Ave. in Belmont Shore (Long Beach) every 3rd Sat. of the month at 10 a.m. Other Beach Cleanups in Long Beach are scheduled throughout the year.

The 30-Minute Beach Cleanups are scheduled every third Saturday of the on the beach at the end of Granada Avenue on Ocean Boulevard in Long Beach. The effort extends toward the Belmont Pier and toward the peninsula. Other Beach Cleanups are scheduled throughout the year at various locations in Long Beach.
