Glass Beach is located in Fort Bragg, California, on the Pacific coast. The beach gets its name from the smooth, colorful pieces of sea glass that can be found on its shores, created from decades of dumped garbage. The sea glass was formed from years of dumping waste, including glass bottles, into the ocean, which was eventually washed up on the shore. The glass was naturally tumbled and polished by the ocean waves over many years, creating smooth, colorful pieces of sea glass. Glass Beach is a popular tourist destination and attracts thousands of visitors every year who come to see the unique and colorful glass formations. In addition to the sea glass, Glass Beach also has a variety of sea life, including starfish, crabs, and anemones, making it a popular spot for beachcombing and tide pooling. But you may get lucky as me and my kids were and sea the beautiful sealions that come ashore sometimes.
