Beachcombing Club

Welcome to Beachcombing Club 

Beachcombing Club is a community of beachcombers who support the creation of online and in-person events through their membership. We are dedicated to building a strong community where you can meet up with other beachcombers online, participate in real-time events, and share and learn new things.

The Club hosts a series of live-streamed talks and meetups where speakers and club members share their enthusiasm and expertise, show what they find, and what they do with their treasures. Club members can interact with superstar speakers in real-time, asking questions and interacting with the speakers and each other. You can opt to share your screen and speakers or just hang out in the room and watch the show.

Who are Beachcombing Club members?

beachcomber club members

Club members are passionate about beachcombing and love sharing their favorite hobby with likeminded people. Though they come from all kinds of backgrounds and from different places, members have come together to share their experiences, beach finds, and knowledge in a supportive, fun, and approachable community.

Club Members:

  • They love learning about beachcombing and connecting with other beachcombers who live around the world.
  • They come from Australia to Germany and countries in between.
  • Many are Beachcombing Magazine subscribers—many have subscribed since the first issue in 2017…and some just subscribed this year! Some just enjoy the live events and online clubhouse.
  • Many have contributed to the magazine as writers, photographers, and/or advertisers.
  • Members who host an event, work with us to create a video premiere, or share their expertise through the Club become automatic VIP members of Beachcombing Club.

10% to charity

We donate 10% of club dues directly to beach-related charities. Donations are made to organizations selected each quarter by club members. This quarter's charity, chosen by members, is Ocean Conservancy. Ocean Conservancy works to protect the ocean from today’s greatest global challenges, creating science-based solutions for a healthy ocean and the wildlife and communities that depend on it.

Join the Club!

Memberships start at $3 a month, with 10% going to charity and the rest directly to supporting this online community. We truly want to thank all of our readers for your incredible support and enthusiasm over these past few years. Without you, none of this would be possible. We look forward to you joining us on more beachcombing adventures.

Become a Beachcombing Club Speaker

If you are interested becoming a Beachcombing Club speaker, we'd love  to hear your idea! Our goal is to create engaging, interesting videos on subjects about beachcombing, mudlarking, beach destinations, coastal arts, nature, ocean conservation, and virtual beachcombing trips. Following is the basic process:

  1. We agree on a topic together for you to cover.
  2. You upload video and audio clips, photos, and other materials as needed.
  3. Beachcombing creates a professionally edited video.
  4. Beachcombing premieres your video on YouTube with a live text chat with you and live viewers.
  5. Beachcombing hosts a live Zoom Q&A reception with you.
  6. Beachcombing gives you the edited video to post on your website, YouTube channel, and social media. 

If your topic lends itself to a print article, we love featuring our Beachcombing Club speakers in the magazine.

Please contact us with your Beachcombing Club speaker proposal.

NOTE: After the first month, your payment will be on the first of the month until you cancel your membership. You can change your pledge or cancel at any time.
