Beach Cleanups in Half Moon Bay

Beach cleanups cancelled due to COVID-19 regulations BUT you can still volunteer for our Street to Beach Cleanups program. Check it out!

Since 2014, we have been organizing monthly beach cleanups in Half Moon Bay, California. Our Site Captain and leader Celine Gerakin has been growing an incredible team of other site captains to help with the monthly cleanups. Together they expanded their reach and are now removing litter from 3 locations on a regular basis.
