About Us

We started “Save Our Beach” because we live along the ocean (it’s literally our backyard) and we would take long walks picking up trash along the way. We were asked many times if we had any extra bags as people would see what we were doing, and they would ask if they could help, too. So, we started carrying extra trash bags on our walks, and then we realized since there was that much interest in people that want to help, we would just make it easier for them by conducting a beach cleanup on a monthly basis. Then, we added California Coastal Cleanup Day as a collaborative event.

Save Our Beach was co-founded by Steve & Kim Masoner, on 10/24/1999.
