Glass Beach, located in Fort Bragg, California, is a unique coastal destination known for its abundance of sea glass.

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.
