California Coastal Cleanup Day 2025 at Crissy Field East Beach

Come out to the park on Saturday, September 20, for California Coastal Cleanup Day – the statewide movement that helps clear trash from California’s coastlines and inland waterways every year! Volunteers will enjoy beautiful ocean views while they remove litter and debris, protect native habitats, and help minimize marine debris. This is a fun family-friendly volunteer opportunity, volunteers of all ages are welcome! Registration required. 

California Coastal Clean-up Day is a statewide effort hosted by the California Coastal Commission. For additional sites on the bay side of San Francisco, Marin, and San Mateo counties (outside of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area boundaries), check out the map on the Coastal Commission’s website.  

What to Bring: We invite volunteers to bring their own reusable supplies! Limit waste by bringing your own bag or bucket and gloves if you have them – but don’t worry if you don’t have the gear: we’ll have some supplies on site for you to use. Wear proper clothing – closed-toe shoes (no sandals), a hat, and layers – and bring a personal water bottle and sunscreen.  

Groups 

Groups of five or more require special arrangements and must be confirmed in advance. Review the List of Available Projects and fill out the Group Project Request Form. 

The Golden Gate National Parks Volunteer Program is a cooperative parkwide effort of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, the National Park Service, and the Presidio Trust.
