WHAT: Help keep Narragansett Bay and the RI Shoreline clean! Shoreline trash is ugly and dangerous to wildlife, and shoreline cleanups are a great way for volunteers to make a difference. Post cleanup, all volunteers are invited to enjoy an after-party with passed appetizers and a cash bar at The Reef, at 10 Howard Wharf, Newport from 7pm-9:30pm. Volunteers will get paper tickets as they arrive for the clean-up for free admission to the event!
WHERE: Ocean Drive, Newport, RI (in between Prices Neck Ave and Harrison Rd) There is no precise address for this site, so please use this google maps link to navigate. Note that this is King's Beach on Ocean Drive, which is near Brenton Point Park. It is NOT King Park - that is a different site!
