Sea Glass Odyssey

Sea Glass... "It happened late one afternoon. I had been walking slowly along the shore near my mother's house on the Chesapeake Bay looking for beach treasures... Lin looking for sea glass Washington Semiahmoo

Wanting to make one last trip down the small beach, I turned around and wow!!!

Tumbling up the beach pushed by a small wave was an orange piece of sea glass!

Chesapeake orange sea glass
I couldn't believe it at first. Then I started jumping up and down. I just had to run home and show it to everybody...",



The Thrill of the Hunt


Have you experienced the thrill of finding a deliciously-frosty and perfectly-tumbled piece of sea glass? Although most are not orange, each piece is an exciting find in itself. Perhaps you have wondered:

You'll find the answers right here.

Here's what happened to me and why I decided to write about sea glass:

Like many of you, my "Sea Glass Odyssey" began quite a few years ago.

While enjoying walks on the shore, first on Lake Erie and later on various Atlantic and Pacific beaches, I began picking up sea glass (also known as beach glass).

Then as time went by, I found myself really getting excited and even hooked on finding more rare and exotic pieces.

Not only was I beginning to want to spend more and more time actually looking for sea or beach glass, but at the same time I was trying to figure out some way of using it creatively. So I started searching the Internet for more information.

However, when I began to research sea glass, I couldn't really find what I was looking for, such as what colors are the rarest, where could I find unusual beach or sea glass, and what could I do with my growing collection.

I'm still learning and discovering new things all the time. On the pages of this site, you'll find the answers to the above questions and much more. My husband David writes much of the material found here, but relies heavily not only on my experience but also on the excellent contributions of many of you sea glass fans.

If you've had the same kinds of questions, I know that you'll find these 500 plus pages of information that we have put together very interesting and useful!

To start, scroll down on this page to preview some of the topics or main areas of interest,

Of course, with all the harder-to-find pages on this site, you might also want to search for specific information using the search box below,  It will show you all our pages that refer to the specific word or phrase you are looking for.  For example, try entering 'red' here:

If you entered 'red' you see that there are over 10 pages talking about red beach glass.

Even more fun is to participate in sharing your thoughts and ideas, crafts and photos, and to see what others are doing, go to Sea Glass Show & Tell

Happy hunting on your Sea Glass Odyssey,!
