Coastal Cleanup
Celebrate the end of summer in a meaningful way by cleaning up the coast at Bal Harbour’s Beach Cleanup in honor of International Coastal Cleanup Day, and be a part of a global movement to protect marine life, reduce ocean debris, and preserve the natural beauty of South Florida’s coastline. The event will be held Sat., Sept. 20, 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. and volunteers will meet at the jetty at the north end of Bal Harbour Village, 102 Street and Collins Avenue, and work south along the beach.

Limited parking is available in the North Municipal Lot located at the entrance to the beach access at 10295 Collins Ave. Volunteers are encouraged to walk, bike, or use Freebee within Bal Harbour. Registration is required on VolunteerCleanup.org to participate. Community service hours are available for high school students.
