Sayulita, Nayarit, Mexico - For several years now, Punta Sayulita has been partnering with Ocean Conservancy and its surrounding community to organize ongoing beach clean-up efforts at this sought-after surfing destination in Riviera Nayarit.

Trash in our ocean is an issue that affects wildlife, the environment and our economy. But everyone has a role that they can play in helping to keep our beaches clean.

Every year, Ocean Conservancy sponsors International Coastal Cleanup Day, a global event that mobilizes hundreds of thousands of people to take action for our ocean. This is one of the world's biggest events for clean waterways and a clean ocean. Over the past 27 years, over 9.5 million volunteers have removed almost 164 million pounds of trash from more than 330,000 miles of coastline and waterways in 153 countries and locations.

Though this year's International Coastal Cleanup is not scheduled to take place until September 21, Punta Sayulita is resuming their ongoing beach clean-up days on Saturday, September 7th.

As in past years, this is an excellent opportunity to get up close and personal with Sayulita locals, and join in their commitment to keeping their town as pristine as possible. The meeting time will be 9:30 am at the Punta Sayulita Beach House, next to Don Pedro's on the beach.

Bringing a hat, gloves, and wearing a bathing suit are highly recommended. For more information, visit SayulitaLife.com.
