s there any way to get access from McCurdy Point Road or near there? The hike from North Beach is pretty long. Thanks

Glass Beach Hike
by: Sharon

Sat. Aug. 21st we hiked to Glass Beach. There were nine of us, and three were children.

The hike down there to McCurdy Point wasn't too bad, but I truly didn't think I'd make it back to the parking lot!

We found lots of small to medium size beach glass, but not the bigger stuff we thought we'd find. Maybe we should have gone further down the beach???

Anyway, we saw a deer on the beach that my grandson got about 10 ft. from. The deer couldn't find a way back up the bluff, for quite some distance. Finally, he found a brushy area with some small trees, and was able to climb away.

We also saw a whale breech in the water. It was a very beautiful hike, and the scenery was so pretty. I should start a daily walking routine, and maybe I could go again, but not in the shape I'm in! I could hardly walk for two days!

Oh, we also found some pretty agates, and a rock that looks like an artifact of some sort. Maybe a grinding stone or something. We're sure that it's something used by Native Americans at one time.

Interesting place!!

McCurdy Point Access
by: Michelle

The only ways I know of to get in there are via North Beach or via Cape George (private community). Its about the same distance walk either way but I think the North Beach route is "easier" walking. From the Cape George side, you won't run into very many other people but there are lots of big slippery rocks to walk over and quite a few fallen trees to navigate over and under--unless you wear boots and walk in the surf! From North Beach, its relatively moderate terrain and there's usually quite a few other people. There's great sea glass and tons of other goodies on both routes. Enjoy! And please post your "treasures" here when you return.
