Beach Cleanup at Lakeside Landing in Lorain, Ohio
Join the Northern Ohio Surfrider Chapter at Lakeside Landing Beach for a beach cleanup on Saturday September 6 from 10-noon.
Lakeside Landing is located at 301 Lakeside Ave, Lorain Ohio. It's one of our favorite surf spots, especially in the fall. So let's clean up the beautiful sandy beach to get it ready for surf season.
Prior to the beach clean up, Kim Haney with SunDog Yoga will be hosting a donation based class on the deck overlooking the lake at 9a.
We will have our last beach cleanup at the newly remodeled Bradstreet Landing in Rocky River. The park is popular for collecting beach glass, fishing, birding, and watching sunsets.
We will meet at 10a at 22400 Lake Road in Rocky River, OH 44116
September 6- Lakeside Landing in Lorain Ohio. 10a-noon.
