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. Past events ›
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.

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 is the National Marine Sanctuaries Foundation. The Foundation is a leading voice for U.S. protected waters, working with communities to conserve and expand those special places for a healthy ocean, coasts, and Great Lakes. Working together, they safeguard species and the places they call home, and preserve America’s maritime history.
The National Marine Sanctuary System celebrated 50 years of protecting our ocean and Great Lakes on October 23, 2022. Today, the System covers over 620,000 square miles and we are working with communities across the U.S. to expand it to conserve more wildlife, cultural resources, and seascapes for future generations.
Clean Seas removed nearly 60,000 pounds of marine debris from the Florida Keys and Channel Islands in California, passing our goal of removing 50,000 pounds for the 50th Anniversary.

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.

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:
- We agree on a topic together for you to cover.
- You upload video and audio clips, photos, and other materials as needed.
- Beachcombing creates a professionally edited video.
- Beachcombing premieres your video on YouTube with a live text chat with you and live viewers.
- Beachcombing hosts a live Zoom Q&A reception with you.
- 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.
