Beach cleaning is a solid litter removing process from beaches and water banks. Humans beings consciously or unconsciously pollute the marine environment by discarded human-made materials such as plastic bottles and bags, fishing gears and nets, cigarette buds, tires, rubbers, paper, and textiles et cetera. Such solid materials drift from oceans onto lands and accumulate on beaches. These contaminants are called “marine debris” and harms ecology, health, and economy or coastal tourism.

Beaches are recreational areas and attract many local or international visitors for tanning, swimming, walking or surfing. But a contaminated beach might impact the environment and economy through the globe, because the marine debris may be unattractive for many beach users due to aesthetic value or health concerns. Ballance, et al. 's (2000) study shows that a clean beach is a very important determiner for many local and international tourists in South Africa. According to the study, local and international tourists choose to visit  the country because of beaches and proper climate conditions. If the tourists do not find a clean bleach, they travel to different regions of the country to find a clean beach. So, cleanliness is very important for the tourism industry of countries.

A clean beach can be an indicator of the environmental quality and development level of a country.
