Clean Local Beaches During Tour de Trash

Tour de Trash is back!

Loggerhead Marinelife Center (LMC) will host its monthlong marine debris outreach initiative for the first time since 2022. In recognition of International Coastal Cleanup Month, LMC will host public beach cleanups, environmental education opportunities, and sustainability-focused events throughout September. 

The campaign kicks off September 5, with the Blue Friends Society Cleanup from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Loggerhead Marinelife Center. Participants will meet at the center’s east entrance to check in and pick up cleanup supplies before heading to the beach. In celebration of the campaign kickoff, participants can enjoy 10 percent-off at Tortuga Café and gift store on the day of the event.

The Tour de Trash cleanup events continue throughout Palm Beach County, and guests can participate at the following events:

• September 8, 5 to 7 p.m. Town of Palm Beach in partnership with the Worth Avenue Association (Meet at N. Ocean Way and Mediterranean Road).
• September 12, 8 to 10 a.m. Phil Foster Park in partnership with Cox Science Center and Aquarium and Pura Vida Divers. The first 100 participants will also receive a complimentary beer ticket from Stormhouse Brewing.
• September 15, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Coral Cove Park, with the first 100 participants receiving a free beer ticket from DAS Beer Garden.
• September 22, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Carlin Park, with the first 100 participants receiving a free beer ticket from DAS Beer Garden.

The first 50 participants at each event will receive a limited-edition International Coastal Cleanup T-shirt. Plus, one lucky participant will have the chance to win two complimentary tickets to Stormhouse Brewing’s Cheers & Beers Festival.

Registration in advance is required so that cleanup supplies can be provided.
