Review:
Glass Beach is an iconic southern beach in the MacKerricher State Park of Fort Bragg. It was previously the location of a trash dump and many pieces of old broken bottles covered the beach, which is how it received the name Glass Beach. The remnants of these bottles have been smoothed by the ocean and turned into treasured, colorful sea glass, which is the beach's main draw.
Visitors will discover everything from unique ruby red sea glass made from pre-1967 automobile taillights to sapphire glass from smoothed apothecary bottles. It is against the law to remove sea glass, so visitors should bring a camera to capture the beauty.
