Hendreys Beach and West Beach , Santa Barbara Sea Glass

(see updates in comments added)

Early morning Sea Glass hunting at West Beach near the Harbor...33+ per hour if the tide has a good swell or after a storm. Green, Brown, Aqua, Clear and some Cobalt Blue.

Hendrey's beach early morning...15-30 pieces per hour.

East beach: None.

Butteryfly Beach: 5-10 per hour depending on the tide.

Padaro: None.

Carpenteria: NA.

Summerland Beach...15-20 per hour when there is a swell.

Much of the Sea Glass is newer and has to be thrown back...but I have found well frosted and rounded Aqua blue, Olive Green, Amber and even a piece of Lavender glass with a grape pattern embossed.

Good hunting!
