Beach: it's a joke, not really any glass. Don't waste your
time. Came all the way out here from Seattle, in the middle of our
Boston vacation because it was the only thing written up for the coast.
We even drove all the way down to the cape- nothing found. How
would you rate this beach for sea glass?: Poor (0-2 jewelry

Why can reports on East Coast Sea
Glass vary considerably between two different people?
1 - Some
are better at finding sea glass. For example, my wife,
Lin, finds at least twice as much as me and more colors on any given
day..
2 - East Coast Sea Glass Beaches can vary from
one tide to the next and also from low tide to high tide.
3 - Some may not
know the difference between Craft and Jewelry Grade Sea
Glass.
For
the above reasons, we try to verify East Coast Sea Glass beach reports with actual photos
whenever possible...So take your camera!

Gibson Island, Maryland
Great Oak, Maryland

Roaring Point Campground, Nanticoke,
MD. Rated: Fair (3-5 jewelry grade pcs. found per

you go in the water a few feet and dig your hands in the sand, you will
almost always come up with some sea glass. Most is not too exciting,
but I do tend to find lots of porcelain pieces and I've found a few
rare colors, like violet and pale pink. Added by: Sarah (Thanks, Sarah!)
