Come join us at Salisbury Beach on Saturday, September 21 to help clean up the area. The event will commence at 9:30 am with a 30-minute geocaching meet & greet and travel bug exchange. The CITO event runs from 10-noon, rain or shine.
Meet at the pavilion near the posted coordinates. Let the gate attendant know that you are part of the beach clean-up and you can park for free. There will be a travel bug swap table set up so feel free to bring along travel bugs to share.
Plastic bags, inventory sheets and pencils will be provided. You may want to bring gloves to protect your hands along with a hat, bottled water, sun screen, and hand sanitizer. There are restrooms located in the parking lot near the event area.
Salisbury Beach is one of the state`s most popular beaches stretching for 3.8 miles along the Atlantic Ocean. If you want to visit and explore the area for the weekend, Salisbury Beach Reservation has a campground located within walking distance of the CITO location. Pets aren't allowed on the ocean-side beach but they are allowed on the Merrimack River side beach and they are allowed in the campground. This is also a great location for salt-water fishing from the shore or by boat. There is a boat ramp located next to the campground.
The Salisbury Beach CITO event was created to coincide with the Ocean Conservancy's national Coastal Cleanup day. This annual clean-up brings together hundreds of thousands of people around the world to work together to clean-up trash from beaches, lakes, and streams.
