A BioBlitz is a hands-on community science event where people of all ages team up to explore and document the unique plants and animals that call the dunes home. By making observations with the iNaturalist app, you’ll contribute to a global biodiversity database that supports real-world research and conservation efforts.
As you explore, you’ll also take part in dune restoration, helping to protect fragile species, strengthen coastal resilience, and preserve this natural barrier against storms and erosion.

CANCELED: November Nothin' But Sand Beach Clean Up
2025-11-15 15:00 - 17:00 | Dockweiler State Beach – Tower 54, 11999 Vista Del Ma, Playa Del Rey, CA, 90293, United States
CANCELED November Nothin’ But Sand Beach Clean Up
⚠️ Nothin’ But Sand Canceled Due to Flood Advisory
Due to the moderate risk of excessive rainfall and the flood advisory issued for Los Angeles County, we are canceling tomorrow’s Nothin’ But Sand cleanup.
With heavy rain, flash-flood potential, and debris flows expected across the region, travel may be unsafe or unpredictable, making it difficult for us all to gather on the beach. Your safety always comes first.
Thank you for your flexibility and for always showing up for our waters, especially when the weather works against us. We appreciate your commitment to a cleaner, safer coastline.
Stay safe, stay dry, and we’ll see you at the next Nothin’ But Sand.
