If you love seaglass as much as I do, you will probably plan your holidays around where is best to find it, I have done some research and put together 5 of the thought to be top holidays destinations for seaglass hunting.
1. Glass Beach - Fort Bragg, California
- Why It's Great: This beach is world-famous for its abundant seaglass. The area was once used as a dump, and over time, the glass has been smoothed by the ocean. The glass here is known for being especially colorful and abundant.
2. Seaglass Beach - Kauai, Hawaii
- Why It's Great: Located near a former dump site, this beach is rich with smooth, colorful glass. The seaglass found here often has deep, vibrant hues, making it a favorite for collectors. The beach is a bit remote, so it's not as crowded as others.
3. Herring Cove Beach - Provincetown, Massachusetts
- Why It's Great: Known for its excellent seaglass finds, this beach is often frequented by collectors due to its large quantities of smooth, polished glass. The cold Atlantic waters are perfect for glass tumbling.
4. Fort de Soto Park - Tierra Verde, Florida
- Why It's Great: Fort de Soto is renowned for its beautiful white sand and clear waters, but it's also a great spot to find seaglass, especially after a storm. The glass here comes in a variety of colors and is relatively easy to spot along the shoreline.
5. Hakata Bay - Fukuoka, Japan
- Why It's Great: This hidden gem in Japan offers a serene environment for seaglass enthusiasts. While it's a bit off the beaten path for international travelers, it’s known locally for its unique and colorful seaglass, thanks to the bay’s mix of tides and currents.
These beaches are not only beautiful places to visit, but they also offer great opportunities to find seaglass, with some offering truly unique colors and shapes. If you're heading out to hunt, be sure to check tide schedules and storm conditions, as they can influence the amount of seaglass on the shore.
