Join Surfrider LA and the Keep Sunset Clean squad for the first cleanup of the year this Sunday from 10AM - 1PM. Last month, some 40 volunteers removed over 1600 lbs of trash in less than 4 hours from Sunset Point, arguably the most trashed beach in LA county.

✅Be sure to wear sturdy, close-toed shoes and long pants. ✅

Park along the PCH or in the lot at Gladstones.

Coffee and pastries by Gladstone's

‼️Please note: Cleanups at Sunset are especially hazardous as we are set up on the edge of the Pacific Coast Highway. While we take measures to ensure everyone's safety, working this close to the highway has increased risks. As such, this is not a cleanup for unattended youngsters. ‼️

From Surfrider LA :

ALERT: For the second straight week following heavy rainfall on January 8-9, the level of Enterococcus bacteria at the Santa Monica beach where SFLA's Blue Water Task Force conducts weekly testing far exceeded the EPA-recommended safe level.

The EPA-recommended threshold for safe levels of bacteria is 104 MPN of CFU (most probable number of colony forming units). The peak level at Station 26 and in front of Shutters/Pico-Kenter stormdrain was 24,196CFU, and 17,215CFU by the Pier.

Despite the high-energy swell hitting the West Coast and creating excellent surf conditions, water contact including swimming and surfing near prominent storm drains is NOT RECOMMENDED until bacteria levels drop back below the health standard. Symptoms of illness from Enterococcus could include stomach pain/cramps, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea or fever/chills
