Added Info:

Newport Beach became very popular for beachgoers from nearby Los Angeles as far back as 1905, when a railroad connection opened and easy way for beachlovers to get there.

There are actually several beaches between Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, including Crystal Cove State Park, where a combination of tide pools and sandy beaches can provide a good sea glass or beach glass environment.

One of the famous spots in Newport Beach is "The Wedge," a well-known body surfing spot that gets pretty crunchy, as David at Odyssey knows well from personal experience!

Since the Newport Beach - Aliso - Laguna Beach, Calfornia areas have been frequented by visitors and inhabited for over 100 years, it is logical that a lot of glass has found its way to the beaches.

However, many of the beaches are sandy and some have been filled in, both of which conditions hide much of the sea glass that might have been "sown" there in the past.

On the beaches of Crystal Cove, Aliso Beach, Newport Beach, and Laguna Beach, look for the areas where headlands come close to the shoreline; where pebbles are mixed in with sand and/or reef.

About 10 miles south of Newport Beach, the coast of Laguna Beach, California is also popular with beach goers and surfers. These beaches have spawned various TV shows and are already familiar to millions of people today.

Restaurants such as Las Brisas, Laguna Beach, are great places to dine while watching beautiful sunsets with your favorite person(s).

If you haven't been to Southern California yet, this stretch of many beaches between Newport and Laguna Beach s a good place to find out what the California beach hype is all about!

The best time to go? I would recommend late summer/early fall - but that's just based on personal visits.
