The City of Fort Walton Beach is teaming up with Ocean Hour Okaloosa and Keep Okaloosa Beautiful for the biggest cleanup yet as part of its Cleanest City on the Emerald Coast campaign.
“We’ll be cleaning up the shoreline of Santa Rosa Sound and the sidewalk alongside U.S. Highway 98 from Liza Jackson Park east to the Fort Walton Beach Landing on Saturday, June 6, 2026, from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.,” says FWB Public Information Officer Devon Ravine.
How it works: Pick where you want to start. (There are three locations.)
- Liza Jackson Park (roadside or shoreline)
- Sound Park (roadside or shoreline)
- Fort Walton Beach Landing (roadside or shoreline)
Volunteers at Liza Jackson Park will move east, volunteers at the Fort Walton Beach Landing will move west, and volunteers at Sound Park will move out in both directions. Then they’ll meet in the middle after about a half-mile walk.
Multiple ways to volunteer:
- Have a kayak or paddleboard? Help clean up marine debris from the shoreline
- Prefer dry land? Clean up at one of the parks or alongside U.S. Highway 98
- Is your business or home located on Santa Rosa Sound? Host your own cleanup!
Questions? Want to volunteer? Contact PIO Devon Ravine at 850-586-7855 or dravine@fwb.org.
