Paradise = Beach + Sea Glass

Posted on by

As much as I love seashells, I love sea glass, too. Did you know it takes an ocean about thirty years to break down glass into these jewels?

The beaches in my area aren’t great for sea glass OR seashells, but we do have a lot of rocks, so I can always satisfy my obsession by picking up one special stone or a dozen sun-warmed rocky gems.

I’ve always wanted to visit Fort Bragg in Northern California but you’re not supposed to remove any glass from that beach, which would be so hard NOT to do.

Here are some other beaches that I’d love to visit and collect a treasure trove of sea glass:

🐚 Hanapepe Bay Glass Beach in Kauai.

🐚 Port Townsend Glass Beach, a two-hour ferry ride from Seattle.

🐚 Summerland Beach outside Santa Barbara.

🐚 Steklyashka Beach in Vladivostok, Russia is supposed to feature an amazing display of colorful glass, but I doubt I’ll ever get there. I found the photo on Pinterest, but I think that’s where it was taken.

Have you visited any of the seaglass beaches? Let me know in the comments!

  1. I saw sea glass for the first time being sold on Etsy not that long ago and I loved it so much! I didn’t even know there are beaches that are covered in it! I live near some large beaches but I’ve never seen any sea glass there, not that I’ve noticed yet anyways, I’m definitely going to be on the lookout now though!

  3. I was shocked to hear the glass was from people throwing their garbage into the sea..I actually thought it might be from lightning or even underground lava action.. not from idiots loitering our oceans.. ugh disgusting
