Get some fresh air, feel good and do good! Come down and care for a part of our local National Landscape, UNESCO Biosphere and World Surf Reserve, anytime between 11am and 1pm.
✨ JANUARY 18th SPECIAL: Free workshop with Ecotribo's mini extruder! Discover how they find out what type of plastic each piece of waste is. Then turn beach plastics into recycled carabiners, giving discarded materials a second life. There will also be some giveaways for biggest batch found and weirdest!
🥤 FREE HOT DRINKS: these will be provided by Saunton Break Cafe (thank you!) down on the beach (rather than at the cafe). Please remember to bring your reusable cup if you have one!
🅿️ FREE PARKING: for all volunteers, pop in the shop when it’s time to leave and let them know you have been volunteering with us.
🧤 EQUIPMENT PROVIDED: gloves, litter pickers and bags. However, if you have your own, please bring it with you.
🦀 CITIZEN SCIENCE AND LEARNING ABOUT THE BEACH ENVIRONMENT: Coastwise volunteers will be on hand to help us deepen our understanding of the beach environment and support citizen science efforts relating to wildlife and beach cleans. We feed our data into national campaigns as much as possible (Surfers Against Sewage Million Mile clean and the Marine Conservation Society).
🧁 PRIZE DRAW: Be in with a chance of winning a family cream tea voucher at Saunton Sands Hotel at every clean.
This year’s beach cleans are being made possible by our ongoing partnership with Saunton stakeholders; Christie's Estates, Saunton Beach Enterprises Ltd, Saunton Break Cafe and Braunton Countryside Centre. The events continue to be supported by Saunton Surf Life Saving Club, Saunton Hotdoggers and we are excited to welcome Coastwise and Saunton Sands Hotel to the support team.
