The Black Pearl Beach Clean

Last cleaned by MCS in April 2025. I've got pickers and bags, just bring yourself with a warm coat and good boots!

Meet outside the apartment block. 

I've said 2pm, but time will change closer to the time when I check tide times.

From the rocks behind The Black Pearl wooden pirate ship, this 100m stretch heads up the Mersey to just beyond the public slipway to the beach.

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.
