June Meet & Greet
Help welcome new volunteers at Ocean Shores City Market on June 20, by sharing the Surfrider mission, inviting shoppers to our July 4–5 and July 11 beach cleanups, and encouraging Plastic Free July pledges. You’ll staff our outreach table, answer questions, and inspire simple plastic-free swaps that grow our cleanup crews and build a stronger community of coastal defenders.
Then, on June 27, join us for Snowy Plover Family Day with The Coastal Interpretive Center and Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife—a full day of family-friendly coastal fun with hands-on activities, guided bird walks, and educational tables to explore. Check the above links for further details on available tabling shifts.
Beach Cleanups
Blue Bag Brigade & Dirtiest Beach Day
July Cleanups
Help keep Ocean Shores sparkling this July 4th by joining the “Blue Bag Brigade” at the Chance a La Mer and Damon Road beach entrances. During a 3-hour shift at one of the two access roads, you’ll hand a blue bag to every car rolling onto the sand so visitors can stash their trash and fireworks debris. No excuses for litter—pick your shift, choose your road, and email us to jump in.
On July 5th, our ocean is hungover from the holiday—and it needs friends like you. After a long July Fourth weekend, it’s the dirtiest beach day of the year, and our shore will be buried in leftover trash and fireworks debris. Volunteer from 9am–12pm at Chance a La Mer entrance to turn the tide: help clear the mess, protect our environment, and keep the beach safe and enjoyable for everyone.
Join us for one more vital cleanup on July 11th from 9am–12pm at Ocean City Beach. We’ll team up for a grand finale sweep, chasing down every last piece of Fourth of July trash.Click the event links above for full details and to RSVP.

Chapter Meeting
August Meetup
Join us for our monthly chapter meetup on August 6, 5:30–7:00 pm at the Ocean Shores Library. We’ll run through quick chapter updates, fresh ways to get involved, and what’s next for our beach cleanups. Then stick around as our guest speaker, Marshall Read—Ocean Shores Lead Planner and Shoreline Administrator—dives into coastal erosion: what’s happening to our shoreline, why it matters, and how our community is working to protect local infrastructure and the places we love. RSVP at the above link.
