Worst Beach? Beach Glass Collecting??

Worst Beach? Beach Glass Collecting??

Here's an interesting comment by Lin (my live-in companion, ie, wife)about the long lists of beaches here on Odyssey Sea Glass:

"You might have read the notes on looking for sea glass posted on our page Where to Find Sea Glass. Basically, I state there that I've listed beaches that we've personally visited as well as beaches we have found online during fascinating research and reading.

Here is a recap of the main point of listing these beaches:

Most people who enjoy reading and seeing beach glass online don't live very close to a beach, and the only time they can get away to a beach is when they take vacation.

So, we've put together our lists of beach glass collecting mainly for you; the ones who, because of their limited amount of time, don't have the luxury of visiting a lot of beaches for beach glass collecting.

You folks are fans of beach glass, and collecting your own during the few days possible out of the year can be a joy if you have an idea where to do it.

So, I feel that these lists can help you to have those memorable vacations doing what you are excited about - collecting beach glass (sea glass).


Here are some useful reminders:

*Check with the locals you run into on the beach...most of them will give you suggestions as to where to look.

*Make sure that the beach will be safe at high tide.

*Take sun screen and plenty of fluids to drink (you may become so absorbed, you won't realize how long you are out there).

*Take photos: One of the worst things we tend to do...getting back home and realizing we don't have pics to share!

FACTORS AFFECTING BEACHES:

*The tides may have a big effect on beach glass collecting. Some areas are more productive of sea glass at low tide, some at high tide.

*The season (summer/winter)affects many beaches. Right after storms seems to be a good time to go in most places.

*If possible, find out if there were any dumps or old communities along the shore where you are visiting. You could hit a great treasure trove!"

And happy hunting to all of you,

Lin Schneider
