Beach Cleanups

Surfrider Foundation’s San Mateo Chapter conducts public beach cleanups on the San Mateo Coast, from Half Moon Bay to Pescadero

Beach Cleanups

Clean ups are conducted by volunteers who weigh, catalog, and recycle the appropriate materials collected.  Participants range from all ages and typically consist of local community members, tourist, youth organizations, school clubs, company employees and local elected officials. Surfrider San Mateo County hosts monthly public clean-ups open to the community.

Private, Corporate & Weekday Opportunities

Surfrider San Mateo County welcomes any organizations who may be interested in a private, corporate, or weekday volunteering opportunity. We can host your organization for a weekday beach clean-up in the Half Moon Bay area, or we can co-host a habitat restoration activity with our partners at Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy -Rancho Corral de Tierra (Half Moon Bay). 
More information on Habitat Restoration: Join us for a rewarding volunteer day at Rancho Corral de Tierra! Help protect and restore the park’s unique coastal grasslands—an essential habitat for rare, threatened, and endangered species. Through hands-on activities like weeding, planting, watering, and mulching, you’ll play a vital role in improving the health of this incredible ecosystem. Come make a difference and experience the beauty of Rancho Corral de Tierra while giving back to nature!
