From I-5 North or South: Take I- 8 West or Sea World Drive. Follow the signs to West Mission Bay Drive. Make a left on Mission Blvd (you will see the Big Dipper Roller Coaster, and Belmont Park is on the far left). Follow Mission Blvd. south until you get to the end.  Turn right on N Jetty Road.

Beach Cleanup Information

• Meet at the location described and look for the blue Coastkeeper pop-up tent. That’s where you’ll start your morning by signing in and borrowing cleanup supplies.
• We will have supplies on hand, but by bringing your own reusable gloves, reusable bag/bucket, and/or reusable water bottle, we create less waste in order to remove it.
• Please wear comfortable clothes, closed-toed shoes, and sunscreen. All volunteers (individuals as well as groups) are welcome to participate and must sign this liability waiver. Volunteers under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian present at the beginning of the cleanup to sign a liability waiver before the minor can participate.
• Registration is not required unless a group is larger than 20 people – to register, please contact [email protected].
• As a volunteer, you play an active role in determining the sources of trash on our beaches. During the cleanup, please be prepared to fill out a data card detailing the types of trash that you collected, and make sure to have your trash weighed when you return to the registration table at the end of the cleanup.

Weather Cancellation Policy

If it is lightly raining, we will hold the cleanup. If there is heavy rain, we will cancel the cleanup. To check the cleanup status, please see the San Diego Coastkeeper events calendar or visit us on social media.
