Beach stretch details

With permission from Caravan Park.

Drive through caravan park to the dune side parking in the middle.  Walk directly through the dunes to the beach.  100m strip centred on the point where you reach the beach.

Warning: Lots of uncollected dog poo in the dunes and lots of full dog poo bags left along the path and on the beach.

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. 

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