Normally the annual beach cleanup would be next Saturday (09/19/2020)
This is sponsored by SCNA under its Friends Of Bates Beach.

The SCNA website calendar does not show the cleanup nor any in person events.
The Friends Of Bates Beach however does show the cleanup.

This is from there website:
Please Join Us for the Annual California Beach Cleanup Day!
(The third Saturday of each September)

North Rincon (Bates) Beach
Date and Time: September 19, 2020, 9:00am Noon

While we appreciate those of you who just show up at the last minute, if we have a head count ahead of time we can better prepare with enough rubber gloves, bags, and pens.

Please bring your friends, kids, neighbors, etc.


I hope someone from SCNA who is on this website (are you reading this jaybirds) will post here and let us know if this is still on for next week.

Actually I found out that like so many other things this event had to be cancelled due to the Covid-19 restrictions.
I understand and agree with there decision.

The California Coastal Commission is asking everyone to clean up in there neighborhood as this will reduce the amount of trash that makes its way to the ocean.

For this year, cleanups are every Saturday in September 9:00am - 12:00pm and self-guided.

To help stop the spread of Covid-19, there won't be any centrally organized cleanup this year.

Whether you are conducting a neighborhood cleanup(cleaning storm drains, local parks, creeks, rivers, etc.)
or
a beach cleanup, here are some good guidelines to follow.

Just an update on last Saturday's get together.
I was there from 11:00 to a bit after 4:00.
Contrary to the forecast of afternoon clearing, the temperature never got above 65 and it was overcast all day.
Despite this there were between 20 and 30 men and women show up to support the effort of the Friends of Bates Beach to restore the area of the beach north of the large drain pipe to its traditional clothing optional status.

I am hopeful that with the better weather we normally have in July that even more people will show up.
