Join us on September 20, 2025 for Coastal Clean-up Day – the statewide effort lead by the California Coastal Commission that helps clear trash from California’s coastlines and inland waterways every year! This year, NorCal MINIs has partnered with the Surfrider Foundation to participate at Ocean Beach in San Francisco for this event.

Volunteers will enjoy beautiful ocean views while they remove litter and debris, protect native habitats, and help minimize marine debris. Additionally, this year the California Coastal Commission has turned California Coastal Cleanup Day into a scavenger hunt! Special "trash" items will be hidden at cleanup sites all across the state. If you find one of them, you can redeem it for valuable prizes from the California Coastal Commission!

This is a fun family-friendly volunteer opportunity; volunteers of all ages are welcome!

What to Bring
