The beach at Ballaugh Cronk is as clean as most locals can ever remember this week after an organisation held the first in a series of clean-ups there.
Beach Buddies, headed by Bill Dale, tackled the litter and rubbish strewn across the foreshore on Sunday – collecting dozens of bags of rubbish.
Bill says 35 volunteers came along to help over the course of an hour and managed to clean every item from the beach.
He says the event was a huge success:
