Private Beach Cleanups

Help keep our Santa Cruz beaches clean through private, corporate, or sponsored beach cleanups

Help Us Keep Our Beaches Clean and Safe!

Corporate beach cleanups help protect our coastlines, waves, and beaches while promoting healthy lifestyles and demonstrating your company’s commitment to the local community.

Hosting a private beach cleanup with the Surfrider Foundation Santa Cruz Chapter offers your team a unique opportunity to:

Protect our local coast – Your group’s efforts help reduce plastic pollution and marine debris on Santa Cruz’s iconic beaches while supporting our mission to protect the ocean, waves, and beaches for all.
Show environmental leadership – Demonstrate your organization’s commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility.
Engage employees and build community – Strengthen team morale, build connections, and inspire a culture of environmental stewardship.
Support education and awareness – Your participation helps fund programs that educate students, nonprofits, and community members about marine conservation, the impact of plastic pollution, and sustainable living.

Let us help your team make a tangible difference—right here in Santa Cruz.
