Every September thousands of people across the UK head to the coast to take part in the Great British Beach Clean.

Beach cleans are fun for all the family and the data collected helps us to campaign for positive change for the ocean.

Join the Marine Conservation Society on Thursday 25th September (11am – 12:30pm) at Southerndown Beach (Dunraven Bay) o get involved this year!

Additional information: There are two pay & display car parks, alongside public toilets and a refill point nearby. Please note - the beach is rocky and can be quite unsteady underfoot.

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. 

28 spaces remaining - join us on the beach whilst there’s still spaces!
