The ocean makes up most of our planet, and plays a crucial role in our health and survival. Keeping it clean and healthy is crucial for our planet and future generations.

At Surfrider, we strongly feel that the ocean needs more friends, and would love for YOU to also become a friend of the ocean.

If you aren’t already a volunteer of Surfrider Miami, join our network and help us tackle the issues that face our ocean, waves and beaches.

Join us for the World Ocean Day Celebration on June 8th starting at 8 AM ET presented by Ocean Bank, and coordinated by Blue Scholars Initiative and ARTSail!

We will honor our ocean and commit to taking action to safeguard it for future generations.

Would you like to honor our beloved ocean? Join us for a ceremonial paddle out for World Oceans Day on Saturday, June 8th at 9 AM ET.

We will paddle out, form a human circle and have a moment of silence for our ocean.

Celebrate World Oceans Day by joining us for a dune restoration on Saturday, June 8th from 10 - 11 AM ET in Miami Beach.

With hurricane season fast approaching, we need your help to protect our coastline from erosion, and serve as a buffer against storms and flooding.

This event is limited to 20 participants - so sign up to secure your spot!

Stop by our table* at anytime between 9 AM - 12 PM ET on World Oceans Day to learn more about our water quality testing efforts!

Our Blue Water Task Force (BWTF) will be testing the water quality to ensure the water is safe to swim, surf and play in.

We hope to see you there! No registration is required. 

*Same location as our Saturday, June 8th Ceremonial Paddle Out & Dune Restoration.  

Celebrate International Surfing Day with us from 5 - 7 PM ET at Miami Beach on 29th Street for an afternoon full of surfing and a beach cleanup! Whether you’re an avid surfer or just love being on the beach, all* are welcome. 

Then, keep the party going from 7 - 9 PM ET at The Miami Beach EDITION to celebrate 40 years of Surfrider! Enjoy drumming, drinks and community building. (We request a $15 donation beforehand and $20 at the door to raise funds for our Chapter.)

*Waivers will need to be signed for this activity and children under 18 need to be accompanied by an adult or guardian.

With summer quickly approaching, check out these tips to have an ocean-friendly beach day:

• Leave no trace. Pick up after yourself and others to leave the beach better than you found it.
• Choose to reuse. Bring reusable foodware and drinkware instead of single-use plastics.
• Use reef-safe sunscreen. Opt for non-nano mineral-based sunscreens instead of chemical-based sunscreens.
• Respect wildlife. Keep a safe distance from nesting birds, sea turtles, other wildlife and their habitats.
