Hands Across the Sand event began on South Walton Beaches in February 2010. Hands Across the Sand quickly grew into an international movement after the BP oil disaster in April of that year. People came together to join hands, forming symbolic barriers against spilled oil and to stand against the impacts of other forms of extreme energy.

Join hands to embrace clean energy. “It’s the most important thing we can do as human beings” Dave Rauschkolb, founder.
Hands Across The Sand is held annually in Florida and on beaches, waterways and land all around the world. The event is intended to bring awareness about the dangers inherent in securing and burning dirty fuels and to champion a new era of Clean Energy for a sustainable planet for our children and theirs.
May 21, 2016 is the time to stand united and embrace a stronger-than-ever appreciation for what's really important -- our coastal environment, clear emerald waters, our sugar-white sandy beaches, and our way of life. Come out to Ed Walline Park for a big group hug on the beach.
