A beach cleaner comprising: a frame including a plurality of longitudinal members each extending along a travelling direction of the beach cleaner, and a plurality of transverse members (52a, 52b) each extending in a transverse direction of the beach cleaner such that the transverse members (52a, 52b) extend substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal members; a churn-up portion (54, 55) disposed in a front portion of the frame; a mesh member disposed in a rear portion of the frame and having a box-like shape open at the front and upper sides, the rear wall and the side walls of the box-like shaped mesh member forming an encircling member open at the front side; and a tow portion disposed at a front end portion of the frame, the front, rear and upper directions being considered with respect to the travelling direction of the beach cleaner, wherein the churn-up portion (54, 55) is adapted to churn up litter scattered on sand ground, along with sand, while the beach cleaner is travelling on a surface of the sand ground by being towed by a towing vehicle, the churned up litter being deposited in the mesh member, characterized In that the mesh of the mesh members is relatively rough at a front portion thereof and is finer at a rear portion thereof than that of at least the front portion, such that when the sand with litter is churned up, relatively heavy damp sand does not reach the rear portion of the mesh member and is sieved off to fall through the relatively rough mesh of the front portion of the mesh member, while relatively light dry sand reaches the rear portion of the mesh member and is sieved off to fall through the relatively fine mesh, the litter being inhibited from falling. a frame including a plurality of longitudinal members each extending along a travelling direction of the beach cleaner, and a plurality of transverse members (52a, 52b) each extending in a transverse direction of the beach cleaner such that the transverse members (52a, 52b) extend substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal members; a churn-up portion (54, 55) disposed in a front portion of the frame; a mesh member disposed in a rear portion of the frame and having a box-like shape open at the front and upper sides, the rear wall and the side walls of the box-like shaped mesh member forming an encircling member open at the front side; and a tow portion disposed at a front end portion of the frame, the front, rear and upper directions being considered with respect to the travelling direction of the beach cleaner, wherein the churn-up portion (54, 55) is adapted to churn up litter scattered on sand ground, along with sand, while the beach cleaner is travelling on a surface of the sand ground by being towed by a towing vehicle, the churned up litter being deposited in the mesh member, characterized In that the mesh of the mesh members is relatively rough at a front portion thereof and is finer at a rear portion thereof than that of at least the front portion, such that when the sand with litter is churned up, relatively heavy damp sand does not reach the rear portion of the mesh member and is sieved off to fall through the relatively rough mesh of the front portion of the mesh member, while relatively light dry sand reaches the rear portion of the mesh member and is sieved off to fall through the relatively fine mesh, the litter being inhibited from falling.
