Maybe we went there at a bad time or maybe I just had my expectations set too high, but I was pretty disappointed by glass beach. The pics I'd seen made it look like the glass was abundant, obvious and beautiful. What we saw was a regular old beach with the occasional tiny pieces of glass. Could have something to... more

Do you love the beach? Glass beach is a great place to visit if your in Fort Bragg, beautiful, clean and great if you love exploring the tide pools and ocean life.Bring a warm sweater incase it gets chilly and pack a lunch for the beach.... but no glass allowed on the beach except for whats there! more

When I heard of Glass Beach, I expected the sand to be speckled with multi-colored bits of glass everywhere - something really different than the norm. That wasn't the case here, but it is still a worthwhile visit. The ocean views, tide pools and the occasional bits of glass, iron and other strange items make this an interesting stop. more

When we go to the Mendocino Coast we always take a trip to Glass Beach. The beach is amazing with all the sea glass and little treasures you can find. The tide pools are plentiful and the the ocean views from the walking trails are fabulous. more

Last year while looking through the Jan/Feb. issue of "Costal Living " I found Glass Beach @ fort Braggs Ca. We actually planned a trip up the coast and drop all the way to Yahats OR. We flew into SFO from MCI and drove up costal hwy #1. I have always loved the ocean. The colors, smells and sounds are... more
