Review:
Located in MacKerricher State Park, Glass Beach is an iconic Fort Bragg beach known for its sea glass shoreline.
This was created from years of using the area as a dump site in the early 1900s. By 1967, it was closed down and cleanup programs began to fix the environmental damage.
Over the next few decades the continual onslaught of waves from the Pacific Ocean wore down the discarded glass turning it into the smooth, magnificent colored sea glass covering its coast today.
A wide path leads to the shore from a parking area off West Elm Street, and there are a few hiking trails both north and south of the beach. Removing sea glass is prohibited.
