The results are in for Love your Beach
Garnier and Surfrider Foundation Australia have joined forces to help take care of your favourite beaches so you can keep enjoying them for years to come.
By increasing awareness of the many issues impacting on our enjoyment of the coast and wanting to keep them in a pristine condition for many years to come, Garnier & Surfrider Foundation Australia held beach clean-ups at several of Australia's favourite spots. With the help of hundreds of beach lovers, volunteers and locals, Love Your Beach managed to clear over 450kg of domestic rubbish from beaches in Freshwater, St Kilda, Noosa and the Gold Coast.
And we're clearly not the only ones who have a soft spot for the sand as over 2000 people wrote in to tell us how much they loved their beach and agreed that we should all help take care of them.
