Good Sea Glass Beaches in Northern California?
by Primas
 Good Sea Glass Beach - Northern California - Cannery Row Beach My family and I have been slowly getting into collecting sea glass and looking for good beaches in Northern California. We went to glass beach in Mendocino in July and that was incredible. Also we went to the beach at Cannery Row in Monterey and that beach had almost as much sea glass but just smaller. We tried one of the recommendations on the site for Miramar Beach in Half Moon Bay and after a hour he found no one piece of sea glass. We moved to Seal Cove in Moss Beach and that had some about 8 small pieces. Are there any good sea glass beaches in San Francisco area??? --------------- I will leave this question open for y'all in California to chip in on. Thank you for the up-to-date information, Primas. This kind of information is invaluable to other collectors. Although Miramar had been reported to have sea glass, it had not been verified (first hand accounts and/or photos). I will update that info. I have long desired to check out Cannery Row but haven't been able to get down to that area for a number of years. You might check out Pescadero. It is reported to be a good sea glass beach in Northern California. Here's the beach list report: Pescadero, San Mateo County, California. Located 17 miles south of Half Moon Bay, 34 miles north of Santa Cruz. "...there was just so much. Select pieces of dark blue and teal were also..." Added by: Josh Schneider (Thanks, Josh!) You can be sure the report of sea glass there is good, as it was my #2 son who reported it, and he does know what he is doing (he better)! We also have Toshi's verified report on a good sea glass beach near San Francisco listed on that page: Pillar Point Beach (click for details) - near San Francisco, California. "I found red, violet, three different shades of greens and many many more colors there." Added by: Toshi Kanno (Thanks, Toshi!) Although Toshi doesn't say how much there is, it is obvious that there are some real "gems" to be found there. Have fun, take photos, and please be sure to let us know your new experiences.
