Sea Glass at the Beach, Part 2

Rare find: beach full of sea glass still being worked on by the ocean in large quantities
A rare location: sea glass still being ocean tumbled in large quantities

At the beach in all these photos, the sea glass is protected and it’s illegal to collect any. The beach is amazing, sea glass has replaced the sand normally seen on beaches. The tinkling sound of the glass being tumbled is wonderful to hear. The beach is such a treasure that it’s been designated an official state park.

Beaches after a storm, and beaches after high tide are great places to look for sea glass. Sometimes there’s sea glass in the water still being tumbled. Many beaches with such a high concentration of glass such as this one are often full of glass because they are near a closed dump of some kind. Or, as seen in yesterday’s post, Sea Glass at the Beach Part 1, the dump is still active.

Some were a public dump and some are, or were, a private dumping ground for a glass artist or community of glass artists.
