Sea Glass? Bayview San Francisco USA

San Francisco, CA Sea Glass by Kelly - San Francisco, CA

Hi I moved to San Francisco April 7th just one week ago from Va.

I saw a show on sea glass in Va. and thought to take a look for myself being one block from the water I rushed down the very next day, and WOW!

I found at least a few hundred pieces.

Is that normal?

I found 6 small red, a few small orange, lots of white large frosted, browns, greens and gold colors.

Bottle tops, quite a few with words like pint and liter and some just letters or designs.

Is there anyone in my area whom can help me to see my find?

Please email me at yllek1 (at) live.com

OdysseySeaGlass appreciates this and all reports we receive, but we have not been to this beach ourselves and cannot verify this report.

Note:
  • No photos were included with this report.
  • Beach was not given a clear rating (stating number of jewelry-grade pieces found per hour).
  • The map shows that this beach is in a bay that likely does not get enough wave action to produce much jewelry-grade sea glass.
As always, we remind folks that sea glass beach reports are not confirmed by Lin or me at Odyssey Sea Glass unless otherwise stated.

Reports that do not include photos of the sea glass found are less reliable. Please use your own judgement in deciding whether to travel to this particular beach or not.

Sea glass in Bay
by: Anonymous

Hello,

Where in SF can I find Bayview District in San Francisco, CA. when looking for sea glass. Going tomorrow for anniversary and would love to add this to our trip. Please email me at verrasei at msn . com

Hi Anonymous,

First, be sure to read this page: https://www.odysseyseaglass.com/bayview-san-francisco-sea-glass-caution.html

To find that area of San Francisco, go to Google, search for Bayview, San Francisco, San Francisco County, California.

Click on the "Earth" view. You will see that this is a very industrial area and access to the beach is limited. 

We are not familiar with how to get to a beach there, but it looks like the most obvious place would be Candlestick Point State Recreational District.

Perhaps a viewer can add more information. We will drop you an email.

Low Tide but Be Careful
by: Laurel

The beaches in SF from Ft Funston to about Noreiga change from day to day.

I have never found sea glass during a high tide so go when it is low tide.

Be EXTREMELY careful because SF beaches are VERY dangerous for sneaker waves & rip tides and several people die every year.

The ocean is very powerful.

When I find sea glass, it's in pebble piles on the beach.
Ocean Beach San Francisco and Point Richmond
by: Sarah Lloyd

Hi - I don't exactly know how to comment on a beach but I was JUST at ocean beach in san Francisco CA and really there was nothing I found about 5 tiny pieces of white and one brand new piece of brown which I threw away so no one stepped on it.

I walked about a mile all the way to the Cliff House. Slightly disappointing considering the drive and cost since I'm about 50 miles away, but I checked it out.

Anyway I wanted to ask are there any beaches in SF that have been more, shall we say, "plentiful" in the way of sea glass that have been reported? I'd love to check it out.

Also, I've been to Point Richmond after seeing someone's writing on your site and some others - not really a "beach" but part of the mudflat preserve for wildlife.

In any case, some lovely little pieces, one awesome purple, one melted glass piece and LOADS of bits and pieces of pottery litter the beach - oh yes, and there is a lot of litter on the beach as well.

ALWAYS wear shoes here. It has an odd feel to it -please let me know how I can post some pictures of what it really looks like.

Anything nearby I'd LOVE to try out.

Thanks so much.

What is the best area to look that is accessible by vehicle and kid friendly?
