2026 Oleta River State Park World Ocean Day Beach Cleanup
Join the Oleta River State Park World Ocean Day Cleanup on June 8, 2026
In honor of World Ocean Day, Beach.com invites you to take action and help protect our shores at the Oleta River State Park 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 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.
