Review:
For more than a century, people in Mendocino Coast were in the habit of throwing bottles, cars and appliances, into the sea close to the north part of the city.
Instead of getting mad, Mother Nature turned all glass bottles, headlights and other glass into little colorful jewels that washed ashore on three small beaches known today as Glass Beach, a part of MacKerricher State Park. Hunting for the colorful glass is a popular tourist activity, so much so that the park management had to put a stop to it, asking people to look but not take, or very soon there would be nothing to look at.
Beaches can be reached by foot, following a short but steep trail down the cliff to the edge of the water.
