Glass Beach, located in Fort Bragg, California, is a captivating and unique destination renowned for its unusual shoreline. What sets this beach apart is its fascinating history of transformation. Decades ago, it served as a dumping site, and over time, the relentless action of the waves polished the discarded glass into smooth, colorful sea glass pebbles that now cover the beach.

Update

Over time, with the request for visitors not to take the glass, it appears that a significant portion of the glass may have been removed. While the visit remains intriguing, it’s possible that much of the glass might no longer be present.
