2025 Kalama Beach Cleanup

In honor of World Ocean Day, Beach.com invites you to take action and help protect our shores at the Kalama Beach Cleanup. Our mission is to inspire travelers and coastal communities to care for the places we love, and this global day of ocean conservation is the perfect opportunity to make a difference.

As we build our platform to help travelers discover the best coastal stays, we remain committed to preserving the beauty and health of our oceans. Our beach cleanups bring together volunteers, ocean advocates, and community leaders to remove harmful debris and raise awareness about plastic pollution. By joining us, you’ll be part of a movement to keep our beaches clean and our marine life safe—one piece of trash at a time.

Volunteers will gather at Kalama Beach Park entrance. Please arrive by 9 a.m. for a brief orientation and to collect your cleanup bag and t-shirt.

I founded my nonprofit, Eco Mermaid Conservation so I could help protect our oceans. I’ve been a beach lover my entire life and the ocean holds a very special place in my heart. I have grown up active in the water and have seen the increase in pollution over the years. I decided I could either be bitter about the litter or be a part of the change; and that’s how my nonprofit was born. I aim to involve tourists in every cleanup we host so they can understand their impact on the places they travel to and what they can do to give back to the local communities during their stay.

To participate, please register below. During registration, volunteers will be asked to provide their t-shirt size to help us ensure appropriate supplies.
