The City of Hollywood holds the Hollywood Beach Sweep on Saturday, September 12, from 7 to 11 in the morning. Volunteers meet at Charnow Park along the Broadwalk at the corner of Garfield Street and A1A, pick up gloves and bags provided by the city, and spend a calm two hours clearing the sand of what the night leaves behind. It is the kind of event that gives a family the same ocean, a little cleaner.

Everything the city provides

The city brings the gloves, the bags and the guidance on the sections, so volunteers simply show up with water, closed toe shoes and sunscreen. The walk on the sand is easy, the company is usually the same neighbors who keep returning each month, and the morning ends by mid day, saving most of the Saturday to enjoy the same beach restored.

Who is welcome

The cleanup is open to residents and visitors, and children join when they go with an adult, so the whole family can be part of it. Hollywood's Broadwalk is one of the coast's favorite walks, and the sweep is proof that the people who use the beach are also the ones who care for it.
