Glass Beach
A former dump on the shore, where waves have ground the discarded glass into colorful sea-glass pebbles. It is now part of MacKerricher State Park.
From 1906 to 1967, residents dumped their trash on the beach. After cleanup efforts, waves tumbled the broken glass into smooth, colored pebbles. Years of visitors collecting souvenirs have greatly reduced the amount of glass, and most of what remains is small. Taking any away is strictly prohibited. The beach has three small coves, and the most glass is found at Cove Three. The nearby Fort Bragg Coastal Trail connects to Noyo Headlands Park. A private sea-glass museum is also nearby.
