Get ready for a new edition and a refreshed approach in 2026! Behind the scenes, we are working hard on what promises to be another outstanding edition of the Eneco Clean Beach Cup.
Our kickoff event at Surfers Paradise in Knokke-Heist, the start of the 17th Eneco Clean Beach Cup, was already a huge success. Under a beautiful spring sun, 250 enthusiastic volunteers – including many children – hit the beach and dunes, armed with grabbers and buckets. In just four hours, they collected an impressive 215 kg of waste.
We’re keeping this strong cleaning momentum going with plenty of fun activities (be sure to follow our socials), leading up to the grand finale on Sunday, September 13, at our main location: Surfclub Windekind in Oostduinkerke (Koksijde). Just like in previous years, you’re free to choose which participating surf club you join. Be sure to check our website for the full list.
Register today to make sure your cleaning kit is ready for you at the surf club of your choice.
Together, we’ll make it a fantastic spring and summer, with one shared goal in mind: clean beaches, together!
MAIN LOCATION 2026
We’re returning to Oostduinkerke (Koksijde) in 2026! Surfclub Windekind will be our base this year. Get ready for the biggest and most fun annual beach cleanup in the country. Be sure to follow our socials to stay updated on news and upcoming activities. Will we see you there? Sign up now, and we’ll have a cleanup kit ready for you.
A cleanup campaign more than needed if we want to give our marine wildlife a chance.
But Eneco Clean Beach Cups mission goes beyond just one action. Being an NGO, we strive each day to reach long-term solutions through open dialogue and international collaborations. Accessible and for everyone.

Together, we are taking care of 2 500 m²
Nope, this time we're not referring to a giant pile of waste we've collected. Quite the opposite, we have some fantastic news for nature! Together with The Click and Natuurpunt, we will be planting no less than 2 500 m² of brand new forest on the 11th of November! And that's thanks to you!
With Eneco Clean Beach Cup, each year we pick up tons and tons of trash from our Belgian and Dutch beaches. A crucial act for the animals and surfers who spend many hours on those exact beaches. This year we collectively cleaned up over 5,000 kilograms of trasj. The majority of that trash gets recycled with the help of our long time partner Renewi, but this year we kept a portion of the trash for a special project...
