Love the hunt for treasures and all the climbing/exploring you get to do there. We make sure we visit that beach every time we are in Fort Bragg.

There were still many large pieces when we visited here in 2010. They were mostly brown and white. The medium sized ones were mostly green, yellow and orangey-yellow. We got a couple tiny pieces of red and one speck of blue. So the red and blue must have been the most prized in the past. I had to say we... More

Don't waste your time, here! Too many people have carried off too much of the beauty. It's now just a brown sandy beach littered with trash and very little glass. The walk from where you park to the beach is pretty flat. Once you get to the beach, you have to find your way down the many slopes to actually... More

Take a stroll and enjoy the colors and feel of the stones and glass beneath your toes, while breathing in the damp, salty air. While some people may prefer the white sandy beaches of tropical...

Unfortunately the glass beach has all but disappeared. People who visit the beach do not live by "leave only footprints, take only memories" and the beach has been cleared by people collecting sea glass.

Our visit was end of April 2013: we had looked for reviews and one on this site suggested to go left down the chain link fence and try that access, was no good past rains seemed to wash out any real safe way to get down, and at the oppsite end, lets call it the more western portion was also... More
