Pentewan Sands Beach Clean

Join us at Pentewan Sands on Thursday 11th June 2026 at 17:30 for a Marine Conservation Society's Beach Clean. This year during World Ocean Week we are focussing our litter surveying work on raising awareness of the Deposit return Schemes that will be launched across the UK in October 2027. Your invaluable citizen science data will go towards insuring these schemes have a positive impact on the environment.

We will provide litter pickers, gloves and reusable bags. All you need is close toe shoes (no sandals, bare feet), clothing suitable for the weather on the day. We recommed a waterproof jacket, suncream and a hat.

Also worth knowing…

What to bring: We’d recommend you pack a rucksack with a few essentials like sunscreen, waterproofs, hand sanitiser, and perhaps some snacks and a drink (in a reusable bottle, of course).

What to wear: If you're picking up litter with your hands it's worth wearing a strong pair of gloves - like gardening gloves - just to make sure you're protected. Sturdy shoes are a must for protection too.

Under 16s: To comply with our insurance, volunteers under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult who will be asked to sign a parental / guardian consent form on the day by the beach clean organiser.
