Fort Bragg Glass Beach California Postcard

Fort Bragg’s Glass Beach, located on the rugged northern coast of California, is a unique and fascinating destination where nature has transformed human waste into beauty. Once a dump site in the early 20th century, decades of ocean waves have tumbled and polished discarded glass into smooth, colorful pebbles that now sparkle along the shoreline. These tiny treasures, ranging in hues from aqua blue to emerald green and amber, create a surreal and shimmering landscape that attracts visitors from around the world. Part of MacKerricher State Park, the beach also offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and opportunities to explore tide pools and local marine life. Glass Beach stands as a poignant reminder of nature's resilience and the importance of environmental conservation.
