Sea Glass Beach

Beach Fort Bragg, California, United States

What to expect

Glass Beach is a unique destination where years of dumping garbage have transformed into a beautiful beach filled with smooth, colored sea glass. The beach is a result of the natural pounding force of the waves breaking apart the glass debris and smoothing it. Visitors can search for rare colors like ruby reds and sapphire gems, and take photos, but are discouraged from collecting the sea glass to preserve it for others to enjoy. The beach is clean, safe, and fun for the whole family, making it a must-visit destination. The area has a rich history, with three former city trash dump sites that are now layered with sea glass. The beach is part of MacKerricher State Park and offers a great spot for a family picnic
