Tunitas Creek Beach is a hidden gem to the South of Half Moon Bay that due to it's secluded and challenging location, has historically been pretty badly polluted by visitors. Being such a long stretch of beach with a steep cliff at one end and long hike along and creek crossing at the other it makes collecting and removing trash and debris even more difficult. We need all hands on deck for our monthly clean-ups to keep this beach beautiful and its sea life safe and healthy. This is a great opportunity for groups of friends, families, co-workers, school groups, athletes, clubs to come together, have fun and really make a difference!

What to bring:

BYOB (bring your own bucket and gloves). . . we do have buckets and gloves in limited supply, but they go quickly!

Water is provided, but we do ask you bring a reusable bottle to fill-up.

We also have zero-waste snacks, Bananas / Tangerines / Pistacios, hand sanitizer and sunscreen at all events.

Change of shoes/socks is highly recommended as certain times of year the creek and lagoon on the beach may need to be crossed.

Other considerations:

Most clean-ups run from 9-11* on the 4th Sunday* of the monthand then we sort and stage the trash for pick-up at the Hwy Entrance to the South until 11:30am.

*Note: our April and September events will fall on a Saturday and will coincide with Pacific Beach Coalition's Earth Day of Action / EcoFest and SMC's CA Coastal Clean-Up Day

There are no age restrictions and is a GREAT event for families.

Parking and clean-up check in will be at the Highway 1 turn-out (south of Tunitas Creek Rd) on the West side of the HWY - there will be signs posted.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There are currently NO facilities/bathrooms at Tunitas. The nearest bathrooms are in HMB proper (9mi North) or San Gregorio State Beach (6mi South)
