2024 Washington Coast Cleanup

There are currently no future events scheduled.

In partnership with Washington CoastSavers, Parks puts on three beach cleanup volunteer events a year and our first one, the Washington Coast Cleanup will be on April 20.

Last year, volunteers picked up 14,350 pounds of trash during the Washington Coast Cleanup. Join us at 1 of 10 parks participating in this year’s cleanup — Cape Disappointment, Fort Flagler, Fort Townsend, Fort Worden, Grayland Beach, Mystery Bay, Ocean City, Pacific Beach, Shine Tidelands or Twin Harbors.

Cape Disappointment First Day Hike

The tides and currents of the Pacific Ocean have shaped the Long Beach peninsula both literally and figuratively as they have changed our physical and cultural landscapes over time. From erosion, to Dungeness crabs, to shipwrecks, we'll talk about the ever present give and take we find ourselves in, and how we can learn to look closer and start to think about what washes up on our shores. This hike will begin at the Seaview beach approach at 10:00 AM. It will be 1-1.5 miles roundtrip as we head down the beach and then back. Refreshments and treats will be available back at the approach when we return from the hike.
