Thank you, Jai! New Jersey can produce some nice sea glass.
Sea glass crafts are such a fun way to turn those little ocean treasures into something beautiful you can actually use or display. Think glowing mosaic window panels, charming candle holders, whimsical night lights, or even table tops with that perfect sea-kissed shimmer. At Odyssey Sea Glass, we love sharing ideas and seeing all the creative projects our visitors come up with—it’s amazing what a little frosted glass and some imagination can do!
If you like the idea of hunting for your own pieces, New Jersey beaches are full of surprises. Sandy Hook is a favorite spot, often giving up colorful gems—think soft blues, sunny yellows, and even pops of red—especially around low tide in spring or fall. Bay Head, Fortescue, and Holgate are other local spots where you might stumble on pieces perfect for your next project. With a little patience, a bag, and your favorite comfy shoes, you can find treasures that will make your crafts uniquely yours.
