Beachcombing Club
Welcome to Beachcombing Club
Beachcombing Club is a virtual clubhouse dedicated to building a strong community where you can meet up with other beachcombers, participate in real-time events, and share and learn new things.
We host a series of online talks and casual 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 on a platform called Discord, which is similar to Zoom. You'll get a chance to ask questions and interact 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?
Club members are some of the biggest supporters of Beachcombing Magazine, contributing photos, writing articles, hanging out together at festivals, and participating in events, online and in person. They 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:
- Most are magazine subscribers. Many have subscribed since the first issue in 2017 and some just subscribed this year!
- Many have contributed to the magazine as writers, photographers, and/or advertisers, and two have each appeared 10 times!
- They come from Australia to Germany and countries in between.
- They love learning about beachcombing and connecting with other beachcombers who live around the world.
We hope you'll join us!

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.
