For 33 years, Heal the Bay has coordinated 30-70 cleanup sites across Los Angeles County as part of California Coastal Cleanup Day. In 2022, we experienced a significant return of our participation numbers with over 4,500 volunteers coming out to 39 coastal, underwater, kayak, and inland sites. Heal the Bay is aiming to have around 55 sites and hoping to have over 7,000 volunteers!

SAVE THE DATE: Coastal Cleanup Day at Torrance Beach

Coastal Clean Up Day is the largest volunteer day on the planet, which is coordinated with the Ocean Conservancy, California Coastal Commission, L.A. Department of Beaches and Harbors and Heal the Bay, and we thank them for their continued support and guidance in helping us making this event a huge success every year. Torrance recognizes that by cleaning up the beaches, the community is participating in this global effort to keep our oceans healthy, to keep our water source healthy, and to keep our community healthy. Partnering with the Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce, and Heal the Bay, Team Torrance will be back on the beach participating for a record 28th year! This year's event will take place on Saturday, September 20th, 2025, from 9 A.M. to 12 P.M. at Miramar Park in Torrance.
