Annual July 5 Beach Cleanup

There are currently no future events scheduled.
Join us and our partners at Washington CoastSavers to help clean up our beautiful Washington beaches on July 5.

In partnership with Washington CoastSavers, Parks puts on three beach cleanup volunteer events a year, including a cleanup on July 5. Visit CoastSavers.org to view a list of participating beaches and where to check in on the day of the event. Pre-registration is not necessary – just show up and help.   

Volunteers should dress for variable weather conditions, wear sturdy footwear and pack a lunch with plenty of water. Upon check-in, participants will receive supplies to help them pick up debris; however, volunteers are encouraged to bring reusable gloves. The check-in station also serves as the dumpster location for marine debris after collection.  

Check for park closures, alerts and burn bans before heading out. For those visiting a state park, a Discover Pass is required for vehicle access.

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.
