Calling all OC Bruins — let’s make waves together! Spend a feel-good day by the ocean while helping protect the beaches we all love. Join fellow Bruins, friends, and family for a Surfrider Foundation beach cleanup filled with fresh air, community spirit, and meaningful impact. Every helping hand makes a difference! Ready to join us? Sign up and look for OC Bruins under Team Name when registering. Invite a friend and bring your Bruin spirit! Come for the beach, stay for the community, and leave knowing you helped create a cleaner, healthier coastline. Let’s show Orange County what Bruins can do together! **Before coming out:**
* Bring reusable water bottle (we don’t have cups), reusable gloves (gardening or mechanic), and sun protection.
* Avoid bringing plastic bottles, bags of chips, and other single use plastic products.
* I recommend wearing a hat, sunglasses, shorts, and flip flops.
* Dress for the beach
**Arriving:**
* Head RIGHT once inside the main gate into the State Beach Parking lots
* PARK in the LOT where we set up. Bolsa Chica has moved to a pay to park system, and we are currently working on a way to allow people to park freely. We will update this if we have a viable path before this cleanup.
* Check in at the Surfrider popup tent
* We have bags
**Cleaning up:**
* You can scavenge the shoreline, beach, parking lot, etc.
* Do NOT collect seaweed, wood, rocks, stones, seashells by the seashore sold by Sally. Let us know if you find any ‘sleeping’ animals for Parks and Rec. to scoop up.
* Bring us back your trash once your bag is full, time runs out, or you must leave. We will weigh the trash, record the weight, then sort out the trash for items to be recycled
