Following the first Nor’easter of the 2025-2026 season, the Beach Community Action Group held a spontaneous beach cleanup on Friday, October 17.

With about 36 hours’ notice, a dozen volunteers gathered on a gorgeous Friday afternoon to clean the stretch of North Nantasket Beach between E Street and Bradford Ave. They collected a dozen bags of trash, along with large and dangerous debris such as buoys, rope, lumber, and fishing lures.

Thank you to the Beach Community Action Group volunteers who joined us on Friday, everyday citizens for grabbing a bag and cleaning the beach over the weekend (we saw you!), the Hull Police Department for picking up the syringes we found, and the Hull DPW for collecting the trash and debris from the beach openings on Monday morning.

Reminder: if at any time you’re walking the beach and see large pieces of debris that need to be removed, don’t forget to use the See Click Fix app to report them.

You can use the app on a desktop here (https://seeclickfix.com/hull) or download the app from your app store on your phone so you can take a photo of what you see and report it in just a few clicks.
