Bar Island - Bar Harbor, Maine - Sea Glass

by Matt

Maine Sea Glass - Bar Harbor Dock

Maine Sea Glass

Rated Excellent!

The rock bound coast of Maine is a great place to find sea glass of all colors.

The glass in maine has a tendency to collect at the high tide line on Bar Island which you can walk to at low tide across a sand bar.

How would you rate this beach for sea glass?

Excellent (16+ jewelry grade pcs. found per hour)

Bar island is a tidal island in Bar Harbor, Maine, USA. "The Bar", a muddy stretch of land, connects Bar Island to Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island. Wikipedia

Found 1 Piece of Seaglass
by: Judy

Don't believe what they tell you about Bar Island
in Bar Harbor. Worst place I have ever been to
for picking seaglass. They are telling you so
you will drive hundreds of miles and spend money
there.
I suggest Belfast its much better picking.

Hi Everyone. Flying to Boston in October from Bahamas and driving to Maine. Would love to find a piece of sea glass to add to mine from the Bahamas. Will be stopping into Kittery. Are there
pieces to find it this location? Thanks.

Bar Harbor sea glass
by: JM

I was there last weekend, and found a few small pieces on a small beach in Acadia, and a lot of really nice pieces on the beach outside our hotel on Frenchman's Bay, including pottery shards.

sea glass in Bar Harbor area
by: Bill

I have a number of fine beaches in the Bar Harbor area. We are talking about Frenchman's Bay and there are a great many very good beaches or coves that catch all types and colors of sea glass, mostly very polished and clean. But I won't tell you which beaches are the best--it's a trade secret!

nice spot to pick
by: freezininmaine

Went out to Bar Island last week, a great walk on the sand bar out, and quite a few real nice pieces of seaglass in hand for the walk back.

This is definitely a place to get to before tourist season!!
