OCEAN BEACH CLEANUP & STEWARDSHIP
Every 3rd Saturday, 10 am–Noon
Help keep our beaches beautiful! This program is an easy
team-building project that takes only a few hours and contributes to
your community. Become a park steward while enjoying a day at the beach
and help improve wildlife habitat both locally and globally.
Ocean
Beach is a beautiful three mile stretch of coastline popular with local
residents and visitors alike to enjoy a range of recreational
activities. Due to its popularity, wildlife is being harmed by things
that do not belong on the beach. Please come out and help preserve and
protect this treasured destination. Help keep our beaches beautiful,
clean, and safe for all of us to enjoy.

Fire Ring Information
We need your help to ensure
the Fire Ring program is successful. The Fire Rings were installed
April 2007 as part of a pilot program to continue allowing fires at
Ocean Beach. If you love fires at Ocean Beach, this is your opportunity
to make a difference. To learn more, download the Ocean Beach Fire Ring Policy Brochure (PDF).
Why
Fire Rings?
The impacts of the beach fires are damaging to
the ecosystem and to all of us who enjoy the beach. Nails, broken
glass, hot coals, and debris left on the beach pose a threat to wildlife
and our community.
The Fire Ring program is a collaborative effort of the National Park Service, San Francisco Surfrider Foundation, Ocean
Beach Foundation, and Burners
Without Borders, along with volunteer support from the Golden
Gate National Parks Conservancy.
The
Golden Gate National Parks Volunteer Program is a cooperative parkwide
effort of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, the National
Park Service, and the Presidio Trust.
