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.
