Note
Note: I've listed beaches that we've gone to as well as the beaches I found by spending hours doing extensive research on line to find beaches where folks have found sea glass.
Anyone who has the interest, time, and energy
can make a list similar to this one.
Why I chose to post this list: I realize that some sea glass collectors
and enthusiasts hold their "special sea glass spots" close to their
chests like card players, which is fine, but I'm not one of them.
Even way back when, people going on holiday to the beach would bring home their found sea glass and put it in bottles or jars and place them on their windowsill.
Most folks don't live very close to a beach, and the only time they can get away to a beach is when they take vacation.
This list was principally made for them; for those who because of time constraints haven't got a lot of time to search out a place to look for sea glass.
They're sea glass enthusiasts just the same; they love what we love, and I feel this information will help them to have those memorable vacations doing what they love to do, look for sea glass.
Please remember: If you end up going to an unfamiliar place, it wouldn't hurt to ask the locals where a good beach would be for collecting sea glass.
Just remember some are possessive about disclosing good beaches for sea glass; just don't take it personally and allow it to ruin your day.
As an aside: I can't promise you'll find sea glass if you go to one of these beaches, but it gives you an idea of the possible good beaches for sea glass.
Now, if we could only find somebody willing to pay for David and I to
go looking for sea glass in all these places (hint, hint)! Sea glass
heaven!
FACTORS AFFECTING BEACHES
Okay, another thing, remember that
your success will depend on a lot of different factors:
Knowing the local history of the beaches helps as well; where they dumped their garbage, boat traffic patterns, et cetera.
These factors along with others are the reasons why people have found sea glass on these beaches or why they haven't. One day a beach may have an abundance of sea glass and the next day hardly any; it depends on a lot of factors.
Happy hunting beachcombers. Check back often, as we will be updating this periodically.
