Come join an estimated 10,000 volunteers across 29 locations along the Texas Coast for the annual spring beach cleanup. Calhoun County will have two official cleaning sites—one at King Fisher Beach in Port O’Connor and the other is Magnolia Beach/Indianola. Registration starts between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m. that Saturday or online.
Please wear comfortable clothing, close-toed shoes and a hat. Be prepared for the weather, bringing sunscreen, drinking water and bug repellant. We will clean come rain or come shine!
Site coordinators will provide data cards, gloves, pencils and trash bags, as well as refreshments after the cleanup at most locations. All locations can be found by visiting the website: http://www.glo.texas.gov/adopt-a-beach/
