Washington Coast Cleanup
There are currently no future events scheduled.
Come volunteer at our annual Earth Day beach cleanup!
As a member of the Washington Clean Coast Alliance, Washington State Parks teams up with Washington CoastSavers to put on three beach cleanups a year – and the Washington Coast Cleanup is coming up on April 19, 2025.
Many other collaborating partners, like Grassroots Garbage Gang, Port Townsend Marine Science Center and Surfrider Foundation help clean coastal beaches alongside State Parks. Volunteers come out yearly to remove several tons of marine debris from Washington’s Pacific Coast and Salish Sea. Beach cleanups allow family and friends to have fun and participate in a meaningful activity.
Last year, volunteers picked up 16,193 lbs of trash during the Washington Coast Cleanup. Join us again this year on April 19, 2025, from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. Registration info is available on the Washington CoastSavers website.
This year’s cleanup will take place at 10 state parks, including Cape Disappointment, Fort Flagler, Fort Townsend, Fort Worden, Grayland Beach, Mystery Bay, Ocean City, Pacific Beach, Shine Tidelands and Twin Harbors.
