Sea Glass Locations
The best beaches and coastlines where rare sea glass can be found around the world.
Davenport Beach, California
One of the world's most famous sea glass beaches. Home to rare colors from the old cement plant operations dating back to the early 1900s.
Glass Beach, Fort Bragg, California
The world's most famous sea glass beach. Decades of ocean dumping created a shore blanketed in thousands of colorful, wave-tumbled glass pebbles inside MacKerricher State Park.
Seaham Beach, County Durham, England
Victorian-era glass factory waste produces some of the world's most collectible sea glass. Extraordinary multi-colored pieces in cobalt blue, teal, amber, and rare swirled patterns on England's northeast coast.
Glass Beach, Kauai, Hawaii
Millions of sea glass pebbles cover this pocket beach near Port Allen Harbor on Kauai's south shore. Decades of industrial dumping created one of the most concentrated sea glass deposits in the Pacific.
Spectacle Island, Boston Harbor
A former city landfill turned national park, Spectacle Island's beaches are covered with sea glass and century-old pottery shards from decades of dumping. The East Coast's best sea glass destination - though you can't take any home.
Steklyashka Beach, Ussuri Bay, Russia
A former Soviet-era dumping ground near Vladivostok where the Sea of Japan transformed millions of discarded bottles into a beach carpeted with brilliantly colored glass pebbles. Known for larger-than-average pieces in greens, blues, and ambers.
