Beach Cleans
All the dates for our beach cleans in 2024- see list below. If you haven't attended before, or are part of a group, email us to let us know you will be attending or ask any questions. The first time you come, we will give you a short health and safety briefing.
You could also take part in Surfers Against Sewage #ReturnToOffender campaign by photographing branded plastic pollution on isolation walks & sharing on social media. Tag brands & urge them to reduce plastic use #ReturnToOffender #SurfersAgainstSewage, please also use #dawlishagainstplastic so that we can monitor items found in Dawlish, Visit Surfers Against Sewage for more info.
Normally we organise beach cleans in Dawlish on the First Saturday of each month. We meet at Boat Cove. We can supply gloves, litter picking equipment and Hi Viz vests, but please feel free to bring your own equipment or gloves.
Dates and times for the beach cleans in 2024 are given below. Watch out for further details on our Facebook page.
