Busted lobster traps, mattresses, chunks of metal and about 15 bags full of trash were collected during the Coastal Access Committee’s annual Cow Bay Beach Clean-up last Sunday.

About 24 volunteers, both surfers and local residents, participated in the event, according to Iaian Archibald, chair of the Coastal Access Committee.

The area covered in the clean-up stretched from Silver Sands Beach (a.k.a. the Moose) to Rainbow Haven Beach.
