EVENTS — 2026 Surfrider Pacific Rim Beach Clean Events
Join the local community in helping keep Tofino’s beaches wild, beautiful, and thriving. Throughout 2026, the Pacific Rim chapter of Surfrider Foundation Canada is hosting a series of beach cleanups that welcome both residents and visitors.
Pacific Sands Beach Resort is proud to support the Love Your Beach Clean Program as a 2026 sponsor. It’s a natural partnership built on a shared commitment to caring for the coastline that brings so many people here.
For years, Pacific Sands has supported local stewardship through initiatives including our onsite Love Your Beach Clean station and ongoing sustainability efforts across the Resort. Because protecting this place isn’t separate from the guest experience. It’s part of what makes staying here so meaningful.
Whether you’re here for a weekend escape or a lifelong connection to the coast, we invite you to roll up your sleeves, meet fellow ocean lovers, and help keep our beaches clean for generations to come.
