Beach Community Action Group

The Beach Community Action Group is a volunteer organization in Hull dedicated to keeping North Nantasket Beach clean, enjoyable and safe for residents and guests. Its core activity is organized beach cleanups, where volunteers clear trash and debris ranging from nip bottles, plastic caps and balloon fragments to tangled rope, damaged lobster traps, furniture and even syringes. Cleanups have drawn dozens of volunteers, and one day removed thousands of pounds of trash.

The group formed on July 31, 2025, and held its first cleanup just 51 days later, on September 20. Organizers invested early in a volunteer platform that handles sign-ups, liability waivers, beach-area assignments, check-in lists and reminders, cutting the work needed to run each event. It works with Hull DPW and Conservation, operates within the Wetlands Protection Act and Endangered Species Act, and has partnered with the Beautification Committee on the town-wide cleanup.
