World Ocean Day Beach Cleanup on Okaloosa Island

World Ocean Day Beach Cleanup on Okaloosa Island

In honor of World Ocean Day, Beach.com invites you to take action and help protect our shores at the Okaloosa Island Beach Cleanup. Our mission is to inspire travelers and coastal communities to care for the places we love, and this global day of ocean conservation is the perfect opportunity to make a difference.

As we build our platform to help travelers discover the best coastal stays, we remain committed to preserving the beauty and health of our oceans. Our beach cleanups bring together volunteers, ocean advocates, and community leaders to remove harmful debris and raise awareness about plastic pollution. By joining us, you’ll be part of a movement to keep our beaches clean and our marine life safe—one piece of trash at a time.

Volunteers will gather at The Okaloosa Island Boardwalk, located at 1450 Miracle Strip Pkwy SE, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32548. Please arrive by 9 a.m. for a brief orientation and to collect your cleanup bag and t-shirt.

What to Bring:

  • Reusable water bottle
  • Sunscreen
  • Hat and sunglasses
  • Gloves of some sort
  • Trash “grabbers” if you have some
  • Comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes

Registration:
To participate, please register here. During registration, volunteers will be asked to provide their t-shirt size to help us ensure appropriate supplies.
