Pitch In for International Coastal Cleanup Day Sep 15

The Annual International Coastal Cleanup is a day SoWal Beach lovers converge on the beach with a purpose!

Every year locals and visitors turn out to help clean up and this year in South Walton it is on Saturday, September 15th from 9-11 am. This year Friends of South Walton Sea Turtles and Walton County will be hosting the event at five South Walton Regional Beach Accesses with easily available parking, bathrooms and easy boardwalk access to the beach.

Our community is joining forces with millions of people worldwide to clean shores. It's a really Big Deal and we invite you to join us in this massive effort to improve our beach environment which will help protect our marine life and natural coastal settings.

Participants will get an International Coastal Cleanup t-shirt with Puffer on the front, be provided a trash bag and gloves, and send you on your way to clean up our beautiful Emerald Coast Beaches.
