GLASS BEACH



No visit to Fort Bragg would be complete without a visit to Glass Beach.


For decades this lumber town dumped its garbage off of its cliffs and into the sea. The waves took away everything but the glass bottles. Smashed and smoothed,

millions of pieces of “beach glass” now cover the shore.
Tourists collect them, some by the bucket full.
There’s less of it every year as they stopped dumping there forty years ago.
In a few years the glass will be gone and it’ll become just another beautiful beach.
