LCP sponsors post-Pumpkin Fest beach cleanup Oct 20

This weekend, more than 100,000 people are expected to crowd onto Main Street in Half Moon Bay for the annual Art and Pumpkin Festival.

That’s about 10 times the population of the coastal town, and all of those people are attracted to more than pumpkins – they also enjoy the beautiful beaches along the San Mateo County coast.

And after the Pumpkin Festival crowds leave, those beaches need help.

That’s why the League for Coastside Protection, a local nonprofit environmental political action committee, is organizing and sponsoring its Second Annual Post-Pumpkin Festival Beach Clean-up.

This year, volunteers will scour Montara State Beach on Saturday, Oct. 20, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Volunteers receive a free T-shirt for participating in the clean-up effort.

Our thanks to 7th Street Café in Montara, which is supplying free coffee for the event.

Last year, more than 40 full bags of trash were plucked from the sand of Half Moon Bay State Beach in the League for Coastside Protection’s beach clean-up.
