Thank You to the Shrimp Festival
We’re incredibly grateful to the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival for their generous donation and continued support of our local community! This beloved Fernandina Beach tradition not only celebrates our coastal heritage but also gives back in meaningful ways that help protect the environment we all cherish.
Their contribution will directly support our efforts to keep beaches clean, rescue and transport sea turtles in need, and inspire others to “Sea the Change, Be the Change.
We’re proud to partner with VFW Post 4351, who reached out to us with a shared commitment to serving our community.

This partnership reflects the spirit of community and connection that drives Beach Junki—neighbors coming together to make a positive impact, one small act of kindness at a time.
Thanks to VyStar Credit Union
As a result of Do Good Initiative! program and your generous donation, we were able to organize a beach cleanup for the employees of Vystar. We are grateful for your continued support of our ongonig conservation efforts.
Beach Junki is proud to celebrate its ongoing partnership with VyStar Yulee Branch. Each year, we join forces for our annual beach cleanup, where VyStar volunteers work side by side to preserve the shores we all cherish.
Their support extends far beyond the cleanup—VyStar is also a key sponsor of our Sea Turtle Festival, helping us expand education, outreach, and conservation efforts for these incredible creatures.
This year, we were especially grateful to have four dedicated volunteers from the Yulee branch join us at the Right Whale Festival, further demonstrating VyStar’s passion for hands-on involvement in environmental stewardship.
