Chippokes State Park is proud to partner with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation for Clean the Bay Day! Now is the time to mark your calendar. You can help us with this important initiative by participating in our Clean the Bay Day - Beach Clean Up. Virginia's water ways and their health directly influence us, our communities, our wildlife, etc.

Answer the call to volunteer and help keep our shorelines clean and safe for others to enjoy.

Meet at the Visitor Center for instructions and supplies (gloves, available trash grabbers, trash bags. etc.). Be sure to collect as much trash as you can carry as Rangers will weigh each bag and item collected from the beach.

Volunteers, father and daughter, collect as much trash as they can along the shorelines of Chippokes.
