Join SOLVE, Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS, Oceanside Surf Co./Current Cafe, Netarts Oceanside Fire, and other Tillamook County partners to clean up the areas around Netarts and Oceanside on Saturday, April 20th from 10 AM – 1 PM.
Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS members and their partners have been working with SOLVE to host cleanups in the area from Cape Lookout to Cape Meares to Bay Ocean for over a decade.
Join them this year and help protect marine life and maintain the beauty of our coast. This beach cleanup is family-friendly, dog-friendly, and volunteers of all ages will find the event fun and rewarding.
Remember, ocean shores can be dangerous. Avoid logs in the water. Keep your distance from marine mammals, and never turn your back on the ocean! If you find any hazardous material, please alert the Beach Cleanup Captain. And remember, it’s more fun to work as part of a team. Bring a buddy, stay safe, and have fun!
