Hands Across the Sand is an international movement of people from all walks of life. It is about protection of the air we breathe, the water that sustains us, our coastal economies, oceans, marine wildlife, and fishing industries. This movement is about embracing energy sources that will sustain our planet. The image is powerful, the message is simple. NO to Offshore Oil Drilling, YES to Clean Energy.

Hands Across The Sand’s mission is to change our energy policy away from its dependence on fossil fuels and into the light of clean energy. The aim is to convince our leaders to abandon expanded offshore oil drilling and adopt policies that encourage clean and renewable energy sources.

Parking at Silver Sands State Park is free. Glass bottles and animals are not allowed on the beach. The sponsors of the event will supply some snacks and water, "therefore feel free to bring your eco-friendly refillable water bottles".
