We love our Texas beaches, and it's a shame that some people that use them don't show respect by cleaning up after themselves. That's why there are events like the 30th GLO Adopt-A-Beach Spring Cleanup.

The event happens today (Saturday, April 23rd) at 4 Coastal Bend beaches. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. The cleanup will take place from 9 a.m. to noon.

The Victoria area locations participating in the Beach Cleanup are:

Magnolia Beach/Indianola – Calhoun County

Check-in: Crabbin’ Bridge

 Boggy Nature Park, Port O’Connor – Calhoun County

Check-in: At the birding observation deck

King Fisher Beach, Port O’Connor—Calhoun County

Check-in: Pavilion at King Fisher Beach

Austwell Pier—Refugio County

Check-in: Austwell Pier

Volunteers can show up on-site this morning to take part in a fun-filled day at the beach that makes a difference.

Each volunteer will be given data cards, gloves, pencils and trash bags. All volunteers are advised to wear closed-toe shoes, bring sunscreen and plenty of drinking water. The Texas General Land Office Adopt-A-Beach cleanups are held rain or shine!

Texans who are not able to attend the cleanup can help keep their beaches clean by making a tax-deductible donation online at www.TexasAdoptABeach.org. There are several different Adopt-A-Beach sponsorship levels ranging from $25 to $25,000, allowing both individuals and corporations to contribute to this major cleanup effort.

Everyone who signs up online and checks in at their cleanup location will be entered to win any one of the following:

  • Yeti Tundra 45 cooler
  • GoPro HERO4 Session HD Waterproof Action Camera
  • Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 instant camera (one in pink and one in blue)

The random drawing will take place after the cleanup. Winners will be contacted directly.
