Beach Cleanup In Seal Beach Set For Saturday: How To Join
September is Coastal Cleanup Month, and on Saturday, Sept. 23, dozens of beach cleanups will take place across the shores of Orange County.
SEAL BEACH, CA — Now that summer is nearing its end, it's time to say "thank you" to the many beautiful beaches that have been serving us well all season.
That's right, this September is Coastal Cleanup Month — and a statewide beach cleanup day is underway in Seal Beach.
This Saturday, Sept. 23, dozens of beaches spread across the coast of Orange County will not only see the familiar beach towels, surf boards and fold-out chairs of visitors looking for a fun day in the sun — but the efforts of countless residents picking up discarded trash from the sandy shores.
