A map showing the Leestit (South Harbour) beach stretch plotted on it

At the junction of the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean, a beach clean at Fair Isle's South Harbour can see things washed up from any direction. Bring gloves if you have them (we will have some spares if needed). Please be aware that there is a slope to get down to the beach, whilst the beach itself has very uneven rocks in areas.

Also worth knowing…

What to bring: We’d recommend you pack a rucksack with a few essentials like sunscreen, waterproofs, hand sanitiser, and perhaps some snacks and a drink (in a reusable bottle, of course).

What to wear: If you're picking up litter with your hands it's worth wearing a strong pair of gloves - like gardening gloves - just to make sure you're protected. Sturdy shoes are a must for protection too.

Under 16s: To comply with our insurance, volunteers under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult who will be asked to sign a parental / guardian consent form on the day by the beach clean organiser.

Join us on the beach whilst there's still spaces!
