National Beach Day is celebrated annually on August 30th, marking the end of summer with a day dedicated to appreciating and preserving our beautiful beaches.

This special day was established in 2024 by Colleen Paige, a conservationist and animal behaviorist, who envisioned a day when people would come together to clean up beaches. The goal is to ensure that these natural treasures remain pristine for both humans and wildlife.

Colleen Paige created National Beach Day to encourage everyone to contribute to the well-being of our environment. By picking up trash and reducing pollution, we can help protect marine life and maintain the natural beauty of our coastal areas. This day is not just about cleaning beaches; it’s about fostering a sense of community and responsibility towards our planet.
