I want to share the beach !

by Toshi Kanno
(El Granada CA)

Only the part of my collections

Only the part of my collections

I don't mind telling people where I find all those beautiful glasses all the time. Do you know why ?
I go to the same beach every other day and at the end of the day-I usually spend about 3 to 4 hours a day-I feel like I found all the glasses on the beach ! And I feel so guilty taking all the pieces but when I'm there next time,I find more ! And sometimes I find even better and bigger pieces than the last time.
That means it's bottomless !
Sometimes I see some people with some tools to dig into the sands and pebbles but it's not always the best way to find sea glasses. Most of the glasses are light weight,so they float on the top of the waves and wash up on the beach.
They don't sink into the sands !!
My beach is called Pillar Point Beach near San Francisco.
I found red,violet,three different shades of greens and many many more colors there.
Hope everyone finds some nice pieces.

Enjoy

 Thanks, Toshi!
by: Rosalie

I went to Pillar Point today and parked in the 20 minute spot so I did not stay too long and found a lot of glass-not worthy yet of being called "sea glass" but my son did find a huge wonderful worn sea glass piece. Thanks, Toshi for the infomation!

 Awesome info!
by: Murrah

I had to chuckle at the folks having the same problems I was in finding this mysterious Glass beach in Benicia. Heh. Well, I hope that in combination with the info you kind folks have posted and some satellite maps I dug up of the area, I may be able to find the place. That trip is going to have to wait until I head out that way, again, though.

I did try for Shell Beach, near Pismo, but of course, there was an unusually high low-tide that day- it was stormy and wet- no glass, but I did find a gorgeous abalone shell and a naturally holed stone. Cool treasures anyway! Maybe another time I can get onto the strand- it's "interesting" getting onto the pebbly beach under the cliff there).

Cheers!

 Hidden Glass Beach - Benicia CA
by: S.

Spent nearly all day looking for the glass beach in Benicia. Found just about every public access spot. No luck.

I'm surprised that the map is not listed anywhere on the internet. No one has added to Wikipedia or any other source. Wow.

Some one let us in and give up the info.

 Benicia
by: marilyn

the beach in Benicia might be at the end of East "L" St, not Elaine. despite being on the Carquinez Straight, there are only a couple of walkable beaches

 Benicia's "glass beach"
by: Murrah

There is supposedly another good beach for finding sea-glass, but I caNOT find any info on it other than it's in Benicia, near San Franciico and San Jose- no map shows this beach, I can't even find beaches of the town listed in many places... Does anyone have any info about the area? My husband and I are going to San Jose for a convention (I'm working a craft-table), and Benicia is near enough to maybe go for a walk on that beach and do a little hunting for more materials. :)

The only "directions" I could find are "at the end of Elaine ST." No Elaine St. appears to exist, though there is an Elaine Way...

Thanks for sharing your beach. I lived in San Francisco for 40 years and I am curious where this beach is located.

Sharing is a tough thing to do sometimes. You are to be complimented.
