Update: The Hammonds-Montecito, Ca (Near Santa Barbara, California)
On Friday May 31, 2013, I found 204 mixed-brown, green, turquoise, blue, clear and pottery.
- Found most of it with 75 minute walk at 9'sh a.m.
- We have tide pools and the sand is low right now-very rocky shoreline.

First Red!
- A medium to large square edged piece not too thick and very flat (like window glass)
- Dark red.
Shards,granules,small, medium and a few large.
Recently I am rediscovering Butterfly Beach and The Hammonds and finding lots there too. 10-100 per day.
The cool thing about the Hammonds is that it pretty quiet, not a lot of traffic.
Just finished a screenplay set in this location. "The Sea Glass Hunter" Stay tuned!

(see updates in comments added)
Early morning Sea Glass hunting at West Beach near the Harbor...
33+ per hour if the tide has a good swell or after a storm.
Green, Brown, Aqua, Clear and some Cobalt Blue.
Hendrey's beach early morning...15-30 pieces per hour.
East beach: None.
Butteryfly Beach: 5-10 per hour depending on the tide.
Padaro: None (see more recent report on Padaro...). Carpenteria: NA.
Summerland Beach...15-20 per hour when there is a swell.
Much of the Sea Glass is newer and has to be thrown back...but I have found well frosted and rounded Aqua blue, Olive Green, Amber and even a piece of Lavender glass with a grape pattern embossed.
Good hunting!
