A community effort to protect our beaches

Cleanup for a Cause

Our monthly beach cleanups are all about community and conservation! We welcome school clubs and individuals to join us in keeping our local beaches beautiful. It’s a fantastic way to connect with your neighbors and support the Rob Machado Foundation.
