Cohelo in Albufeira, Portugal (Algarve Region). Praia means "beach" in Portuguese. These
beaches are up against rocks. During low tide, small caves are exposed,
and up against the rocks there are lots of nice pieces of glass. I
found my biggest pieces there, and some turquoise/aquamarine."

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.
Collecting sea glass has been an activity of beachcombing for a good
long while. It's not a new fad. For some families, it's practically a
tradition in their families. 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:
The tides have a big effect on this. Some areas are more productive of
sea glass at low tide, some at high tide. Some areas have more sea
glass during certain times of the year. Right after storms is a good
time to go in most places.
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.
