2025 El Porto Beach Cleanup

In honor of World Ocean Day, Beach.com invites you to take action and help protect our shores at the El Porto 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.

Come join us for a fun Community Surf and Beach Cleanup for World Oceans Day!

Volunteers will gather just north of Tower 42 at our favorite SouthBay Beach break, El Porto. Please arrive by 8 a.m. for a brief orientation and to collect your cleanup bag and t-shirt. Plenty of parking in the El Porto North lot (lot opens at 6:15 am), and we suggest getting there early.

I organize beach cleanups for our local community every quarter. When we collect plastic trash we don’t just throw it away, I upcycle it and incorporate into new products.
