Join us for our quarterly Coastal Cleanup at the tide pool (also called the cove) in Sebastian Inlet State Park on Tuesday, August 4, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. for a beach cleanup. Let's help keep our beautiful state park debris-free! We will meet on the north side of the park near the bathrooms at the tidepool. All essential cleanup supplies will be provided, but be sure to bring a reusable water bottle, sun protection, bug repellent, and your neighbors, friends, and family. Let the park ranger at the front gate know you are there to participate in the cleanup for free entry! No RSVP necessary. We hope to see you there!
