Beach + Bayside Cleanup
Oceanside Surf Company 1505 Pacific Ave, OceansideJoin SOLVE, Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS (www.netartsbaywebs.org), Oceanside Surf Co./Current Cafe, Netarts Oceanside Fire, and other Tillamook County partners to clean up the areas around Netarts and Oceanside on September 21 from 10 AM - 1 PM. Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS members and our partners have been working with SOLVE to host cleanups in the area from Cape Lookout to Cape Meares to Bay Ocean for over a decade. Join us this year and help us protect marine life and maintain the beauty of our coast. This beach cleanup is family-friendly, and dog-friendly. Volunteers of all ages will find the event fun and rewarding.
Keep it safe and fun! Remember our ocean shores can be dangerous. Avoid logs in the water. Keep your distance from marine mammals, and never turn your back on the ocean! If you find any hazardous material, please alert your Beach Captain. And remember, it’s more fun to work as part of a team. Bring a buddy, stay safe, and have fun!
