Glass Beach, located in Fort Bragg, California, is a unique coastal destination known for its abundance of sea glass. The beach's distinctive feature comes from years of discarding glass bottles, ceramics, and other types of trash into the ocean.

While collecting sea glass is discouraged to preserve the beach's natural beauty, the area remains a popular attraction for its scenic views, historical interest, and ecological resilience, showcasing how nature can transform human waste into something unexpectedly beautiful. There are also tide pools that are fun to explore when the tides are low.
