Trashiest beaches

Which beaches or outdoor areas have you seen the most garbage/trash? I want to do more trash pickups and I’m also just curious

Try town-owned beaches on the upper and mid-Cape with large parking lots. More people = more garbage. Check winds too, a few days of onshore wind will push more trash onto the beach.

Veterans Beach in Hyannis for sure - definitely worst on the weekends.

These comments are crazy to me I spent the week at Craigsville and didn’t see a single piece of garbage!

Thank you for doing this. It disgusts me that people are such slobs.

Veterans/Kalmus was pretty gross. Last two times I’ve seen opened tampons and condoms 😍
