Sea Change Initiatives

At Crystal Coast Beachside Grills & Gear, we are proud to champion marine conservation by supporting impactful organizations like 4Ocean, Sea Shepherd Global, and the North Carolina Coastal Federation. 4Ocean funds the removal of one pound of plastic from the ocean for every product sold, while Sea Shepherd leads direct-action campaigns to protect marine life and combat illegal fishing worldwide. The North Carolina Coastal Federation works to protect and restore coastal water quality and habitats along our coast by engaging communities, advancing science-based solutions, and promoting long-term stewardship. Each summer, we donate a portion of every rental to support ocean health and coastal conservation efforts. These partnerships reflect our deep commitment to sustainable tourism, environmental responsibility, and preserving the natural beauty of the Crystal Coast for generations to come. By integrating these initiatives into our operations, we proudly contribute to cleaner beaches, healthier marine ecosystems, and a more eco-conscious community.
