2026 Dana Point World Ocean Day Beach Cleanup
Join the Dana Point World Ocean Day Beach Cleanup on June 7, 2026
In honor of World Ocean Day, Beach.com invites you to take action and help protect our shores at the Dana Point 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.

Meet Your Cleanup Captain
Vicki Patterson, with Stand Up to Trash
Guided by the belief that people protect what they understand and improve when they learn, our cleanups are designed to be more than just picking up trash. They are moments of connection, learning and shared responsibility. Through hands-on experiences, we bring the community together to care for the places we love while discovering how everyday choices affect our ocean and waterways. Each cleanup becomes an opportunity to learn, grow, and take meaningful action. By providing community support and education through awareness, engagement, and stewardship, we empower people of all ages to turn knowledge into action and be part of the solution.
