Beach Clean is an ongoing educational program to promote clean beaches and waterways, protect our environment, and reduce trash on our beaches and away from our waterways. We are a sea turtle sanctuary and we educate our visitors to fill holes left on the beach to prevent the stranding of endangered sea turtles. The program offers a toolkit of logos and posters for our businesses, towns, and vacation rental agencies may use to educate our residents and visitors. The program involves three beach towns and two counties.
