A Beach That's Colorful and Sparkly - Glass Beach in California

In MacKerricher State Park in California (near Fort Bragg), there's a beach covered in sea glass, the result of garbage dumping off the coast and the work of water tumbling the glass into smooth shapes.

I am constantly amazed at how many things I've yet to see (and also how--sometimes--something very unlovely can be made lovely again). Who knew that garbage could be beautiful?

  1. I love finding sea glass along the beach. I have NEVER seen it is such quantities. I usually pick up what I find & give it to a friend who makes jewellery.

  2. I've never actually been on a beach where there is sea glass, but I love glass (colored glass, blown glass, counter tops made from recycled glass) so I would love to see some sea glass "in the wild," so to speak. Strangely enough, I don't own much decorative glass (just one more thing to store), but I enjoy looking at it.
