Green Planet Surfer South Stradbroke Beach Clean Up day

The recent storms have stirred things up, leaving our beloved South Stradbroke beaches in need of our care. Join Green Planet Surfer and Clean Up Australia on 9.00am Saturday, May 4th, 2025, for a day of action, connection, and giving back to the place that gives us so much.

Hey, you know that feeling of gliding across a clean wave, that sense of pure connection with the ocean? Let's bring that same purity back to the shores of South Stradbroke Island. The recent cyclones and rains have left behind a lot of debris, especially plastics, and our island sanctuary needs our help to breathe again.

Green Planet Surfer is teaming up with the awesome folks at Clean Up Australia to organise a beach clean-up, and we'd love for you to be a part of it. This isn't just about picking up rubbish; it's about showing our love for the ocean, connecting with fellow ocean-minded souls, and making a tangible difference to a place that holds a special kind of magic for all of us.

Getting there: 

The clean up location is only accessible by boat and all volunteers will need to arrange their own transportation to and from the clean up site.
