About This Beach
Glass Beach in Fort Bragg, California, is a unique coastal site renowned for its smooth, colorful sea glass pebbles, a result of decades of ocean-tumbled trash. While convenient parking and paved trails exist, the best glass viewing requires navigating uneven terrain. The beach offers stunning ocean views and is often crowded, particularly in the afternoon. Despite the crowds, the unique nature of the beach and surrounding area still draws many visitors.
