At the ferry landing, (on the south side) there is a lot of interesting stuff on both sides, but not enough wave action. The glass is not nearly tumbled enough, though old.

Fort Bragg, CA "Sea Glass Beach" Although there are a number of reports on the net from over the last few years that collecting sea glass is prohibited at Fort Bragg, it has been pretty much confirmed by people living in Fort Bragg that although the parks department might discourage picking up the sea glass, it is not at all prohibited. Tammy, from MendoCoastTreasures.com (Mendocino County, CA)is getting together a sea glass replenishment program which should be interesting to say the least and will be keeping up to date!
