The event takes place from 10 to 11:30am, and supporters will meet at the 17th Street Del Mar Lifeguard Station before spreading out across the beach, parks, and nearby streets to collect litter that would otherwise pollute our precious waterways. To make cleanup efforts even more rewarding and to celebrate Valentine's Day, the Del Mar Lifeguards will treat participating volunteers to a pancake brunch, with treats and coffee generously donated by The Cottage and Better Buzz. visitdelmarvillage.com/communitycleanup Jeffrey Strauss ranchandcoast.com
