No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that a rubbish dump being created would, in the space of a century, become a protected area. Yet that is exactly what happened to what has come to be known as Glass Beach, just outside Fort Bragg in California.
Glass Beach is abundant in sea glass created from years of dumping garbage into an area of coastline near the northern part of the town. The beach is now frequently visited by tourists. Collecting is not permitted on the beach, although sea glass can be found on other local beaches outside the park boundary.
