Main Beach is a south-facing beach that stretches from the mouth of the San Lorenzo River to
the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf wooden pier. Even with the large expanse of sand the beach gets packed with tourists and locals on sunny days. With the Boardwalk and the Wharf – it gets heavy use and that means lots of opportunities for debris to be left behind. But not all the trash we collect is from beach goers, much of it gets washed onto the beach from gutters throughout the city and from San Lorenzo River or washed up during winter storms.
Our goal is to remove all the unnatural debris from the beach. We especially want to focus on removing all the small bits of plastic and clear plastic such as straws and bags because they are often mistaken for food by marine animals and shore birds. Cigarette butts are also important to remove because they never fully decompose.

What to bring / wear: Dress in comfortable clothes and shoes and wear sunglasses or a hat. We recommend bringing a reusable water bottle.
