We are stoked to be offering a Kayak Cleanup in Miami Beach, sponsored by Earth Breeze. This event will give you the chance to kayak through the Collins Canal in clear kayaks, explore the environment, and clean up our waterways!
Please arrive a few minutes early so we can get everybody outfitted with rental gear and be ready to head out around 9! There are parking garages one to two blocks away both North and South of the shop. You can leave any valuables that you do not want to get wet in the kayak shop.
We will provide mesh bags for trash, trash grabbers, gloves, sunscreen, bug spray, a water cooler, kayaks, and snorkel gear!
Once everybody is checked in and geared up, we will distribute cleaning supplies, fill up our water bottles, have a brief safety talk, and then get out on the kayaks!
