As we head into this season and welcome travelers to America’s Best Beaches, Visit St. Pete/Clearwater (VSPC) wants to welcome travelers while they unwind to please remember to be kind to our beautiful beaches and fellow travelers/locals.

From April 1st – May 4th, VSPC, in partnership with Keep Pinellas Beautiful and local TikTok’er Caulin Donaldson, will host a weekly “Unwind and Be Kind” beach cleanup from 10 – 11 a.m. EDT. After the cleanup, participants are welcome to stop by The Hyppo Gourmet Ice Pops cart onsite cleanup for a free reward treat!

If you’re unable to attend the 10 – 11 a.m. cleanup, be sure to still stop by the Visit St. Pete/Clearwater tent until 3 p.m. to help with the beach cleanup and grab a free ice pop!

Interested in learning more about how to participate in the initiative year-round? Check out kpbcares.org/get-involved for annual programs like Pick Up Pinellas, an initiative for volunteers like you to gather in small, safe groups and clean the streets and blocks you live on.
