BEACH CLEANUP PERMIT

All beach cleanup activities on LA County beaches must have a Beach Use Cleanup Permit.

One easy way to help clean our beaches is to participate in Heal the Bay’s Adopt-A-Beach program for individuals, families, and households.

If you would like to apply directly for a Beach Use Cleanup Permit for you or your organization, click the “Apply for Beach Cleanup Permit” button below. There is no permit fee for beach cleanups; however, you will be required to obtain liability insurance coverage. The permit must be applied for no earlier than 90 days, and no later than 3 weeks, before the desired event date(s).

For more information, please call the Permit Section at (424) 526-7880.

Please review the following documents before applying:

1. New Account Setup Instructions
2. Step-by-Step Instructions for Beach Cleanup Permit Applications
3. Insurance Requirements for Permittees
4. Insurance Provider Referral (L.A. County Program)

Heal the Bay’s Adopt-A-Beach program is for individuals, families, and households that are eager to be a part of the solution to ocean pollution. Ocean pollution starts at our front doors, and local trash on our streets travels through the storm drain systems, creeks, and rivers to become beach and ocean pollution. Everyone can take part and help prevent ocean-bound trash by participating in local neighborhood cleanups.

To get started, visit the Adopt-A-Beach website.
