Welcome to Beach Junki
Our Mission
To raise public awareness of the need to keep the beach clean and safe for nesting sea turtles.
Our Goal
To share information about the various types of trash (and sometimes treasures) that wash up on our shores.
Washed Up Project
The Washed Up Project has 3 initiatives to inspire the community and bring awareness to the plastic pollution that is washing up. We currently have 2 Washed Up Project locations. Our ocean themed art piece, the beach toy borrow box, and the beach clean up baskets are displayed at Main Beach and Seaside Park in Fernandina Beach.

Amelia Sea Turtle
Our first Washed Up Project is called Amelia Sea Turtle. It was created by local artist, Sandra Baker-Hinton, who used washed up sunglasses, bottle caps and plastic pieces to contruct the recognizable art work. Amelia Sea Turtle is currently displayed at Seaside Park in Fernandina Beach, Florida. To learn more about the artist, visit Clay Times Art Center in downtown Fernandina Beach.
