Cape York – Chilli Beach Clean-up 2025

New volunteers welcome! Keen to experience Cape York in a truly meaningful way? Join us for the Chilli Beach Clean-up from 19th–27th July 2025 (including travel) and help protect one of Australia’s most stunning—and impacted—coastlines.

Dates: 19th – 27th July 2025
Departing from: Cairns

Chilli Beach, on the lands of the Kuuku Ya’u people, is a 7km stretch of white sand and palm-lined dunes that’s become a hotspot for marine debris. Over five days, we’ll work together to remove, sort, and record rubbish for entry into the Australian Marine Debris Initiative (AMDI) Database.

Whether you’re a seasoned clean-up crew member or a first-timer, we’d love to have you on board. It’s tough, remote, and incredibly rewarding. Volunteers must be fit, ready to camp, and up for the challenge.

Have your own 4WD? You’re welcome to join the convoy or meet us on site!
