Sandilands Great British Beach Clean

Join us at Sandilands for the Great British Beach Clean and help protect local marine life along the Lincolnshire coast.

  • Booking advisable
  • Free event

Together, we can help care for this special stretch of coastline and keep the sea safer for wildlife this summer. Every piece of litter collected, from washed-up plastic to tiny fragments hidden in the sand, helps make a difference.

We’ll also gather important data for the Marine Conservation Society, helping build a clearer picture of coastal litter and supporting campaigns for cleaner, healthier seas.
