Glass Beach
Gaby, Beachcomber Staff
Glass beach is a great beach for finding glass of course! It is also a great place to take the kids to look at the tide pools. You are able to find little hermit crabs, starfish, anemones...etc. Every once in a while, you can see a sea lion swimming through the waves. This is definitely one of my favorite beaches! Those tide pools are just great!
