Beach Clean-ups are a great way to spend a few hours at the beach and help make our beaches healthier and more beautiful for everyone. Beach clean ups are held throughout the year at beaches from Playa Del Rey north to the Ventura County Line. All materials and bags are provided for you, all you have to do is show up! We are happy to help you coordinate your own beach clean ups for schools or corporate events. We can assist you with planning including where to have your clean-up and provide a volunteer speaker to give an educational demonstration and talk to your group about some of the coastal issues in Los Angeles County. If you would like to host a beach clean-up for your group, please contact us at 310-451-1010.



The chapter is often involved throughout the year in many festivals, surf contests and educational forums in which we set up an information “tables” to educate the public about our organization and our issues by handing our literature, recruiting people to come to our meetings, and just talking to people. Since many of these are all day events, volunteers are always needed to help man the tables. If you are interested in helping at our next tabling, please email us at malibu@surfrider.org



Local and national companies, including media corporations and civil entities often sponsor Surfrider Foundation events. These events usually involve media and other exposure to bring attention to our efforts. Having this exposure and focus brings attention to the environment and the need to help. The more people the better so please try to attend these important functions. We will post sponsored events on our calendar.
