Name of Beach and Comments: Glass Beach - It lives up to its name.
The ground is littered with sea glass, much of it jewelry quality. Snorkeling a few dozen yards from shore shows the undersea floor covered with glass, which comes alive when the sun shines through the water.
Girl Scout Beach - Not as much as Glass Beach, but still sea glass everywhere you look.
Rare colors found here are Red, Black, and Large Cobalt Blue.
Common are Aqua, Green, Brown, White, and the different shades of those colors.
How would you rate this beach for sea glass?: Excellent (16+ jewelry grade pcs. found per hour)
Wow! I'm ready to go! Is it true Obama is closing the base down? Does that mean we can have access??

Guantanamo Sea Glass Beach Update Cuba Hey David, A few years ago, I left a comment about some sea glass beaches in Cuba and said I'd get you some pictures. Somehow, every time I went out...
We lived there for 3 years and have over 50 pounds of jewelry grade sea glass! It is an amazing place.

how are the beaches, there are very few pictures of the beaches online. Are there a lot of beach goers? Nice sand? How do visitors get around?

It is not called Glass Beach for Nothing by: John
I am down at GITMO right now, and I have been to both Girl Scout and Glass Beach. They are both great for finding sea glass! Glass beach is loaded with glass. Too bad only a select few will get to come and see this great treasure. Diving is out of the world here too!

Guantanamo by: Anonymous
Only the prisons are in discussion to be closed - not the base itself. It is a strategic deep water port. Guantanamo Bay is leased to the US Government from Cuba in perpetuity, and the US has no intentions of leaving. I just came from Guantanamo on Saturday, and fully concur with Glass Beach being the best.
I received your sea glass hearts and I LOVE them all.
Thank you so much for sending the extra hearts.
I was so touched by your thoughtfulness and I appreciate you sharing these special gifts from the sea! Hope to see more of your sea glass soon!
Thanks again,”

Many happy memories swirled back into my mind when I saw your pictures. I spent my childhood on the beaches of Cape Cod and we spent many happy hours looking for sea glass.”

“Hi David and Lin.
Love your sea glass web site. I enjoy your picture of the month and intend on winning at least once.
I have been collecting and creating things from sea glass for over twenty years. I find my sea glass on the beautiful shores of Lake Erie in Cleveland Ohio.
Thank you for sharing your treasures with me.” Yours truly,

“Just wanted to let you know (since you were so helpful) that I won a blue ribbon (1st place) in Gifford Middle School Science Fair in the category of Environmental Science with my topic - Effect of a Florida Tidal Inlet on Wrack Line Sea Glass Volume.
Now, I will compete in the Regional Science Fair which will take place on Feb 2nd. My mom and dad and I had a lot of fun searching for sea glass.
Thanks,”
