Welcome to Beach Junki

  Our mission is to educate, inspire, and empower others to care for the ocean, reduce pollution, and protect  the sea turtles—who depend on our help to survive.

   Join us in creating cleaner beaches, safer seas, and a brighter future for every creature that calls the ocean home.

Amelia Sea Turtle

Amelia the Sea Turtle is a vibrant educational sculpture made entirely from washed-up marine debris. Created by local artist Sandra Baker-Hinton, she features sunglasses, bottle caps, and other ocean-tossed plastics transformed into art that highlights the growing threat of marine pollution. You can visit Amelia at Seaside Park in Fernandina Beach.

Jelly Junki

Ceceilia Cain is the creative talent behind one of our most striking Washed Up art pieces, Jelly Junki, now on display at Main Beach. Using washed-up balloons, bracelets, bottle caps, discarded lighters, and other ocean debris, she transformed everyday litter into a bold and colorful reminder of the impact marine pollution has on our coast.
