About the Surfer’s & Harbor Beach cleanups in Half Moon Bay
Site captains: Maggie, Julie, Melinda & Laurel
Time: 9-11AM
Where to Meet: Near the boat launch ramp, which is also the beginning of coastal trail. View in map. Please note there’s beach dredging and construction happening near our site.
Parking: Free parking in the lot adjacent to Half Moon Bay Kayak Co.
Cleanup Areas: We will clean up the beach and the rocks when there is a low tide. During high tide, we will focus on cleaning up the trail and the bluff all the way to Miramar (if desired).
Supplies: Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own buckets and reusable gloves. Extra gloves, buckets, and specific tools for this site cleanup will be provided while supplies last. Make sure to bring extra layers, a hat, sunblock, water, and snacks.
Litter: Expect to pick up plastic wrappers, cigarette butts, fishing gear and line, other debris, and recycling.
Restrooms: There is a public restroom by the boat launch or south by Miramar.

Special Regulations
Dogs: Dogs permitted on leash only. Use caution as there are dangerous sneaker waves and a very strong rip current. NEVER turn your back on the ocean and watch children and pets carefully.
Trash: Pack your trash in and out.
Fires or BBQ grills and glass containers: Prohibited on beach.
Fireworks: Prohibited on beach.
Smoking: Prohibited on beach.

Be sure to read through the Cleanup Guidelines before attending the cleanup.
