What is sea or beach glass?

When friends find out we have started a web business, the first thing they ask is, "What is the site about?" The second question many times is, "What is sea or beach glass?".?"

Then again, when we begin to explain, many will recognize what we are talking about, just never knew that it had a name. That is, those who live near a beach! Or, they may have referred to it for years as "sea gems," "beach jewels," etc., names that may have been in the family's vacation vocabulary for years.

Where To Find Sea or Beach Glass

Sea glass is found on beaches washed by waves. Although mainly known as sea glass, indicating it is found near the sea, the term beach glass refers to basically the same thing. The term "beach glass," however, is more general, as it includes glass that is found on the beaches of large bodies of fresh water, such as the Great Lakes of the United States and Canada, Lake Titicaca, etc.

A lot more information on what sea or beach glass is is can be found on this site. We also provide you guidelines for finding known beaches where beach glass is found AND how to possibly find your own special beach. Click here.

Are there any good beaches near me?

If you live near a beach or are thinking of traveling to the beach, this is another popular question. To answer that question, we have dedicated a number of pages to beaches worldwide where sea-tumbled glass has been found by others.

We encourage you to take a look. Also, we need your help to rate these beaches, as you will see, to help folks like you decide which beach you might want to visit first.  Click here.
