Glass Beach is a beautiful, rugged beach west of Fort Bragg, with cliffs and crashing waves. There's little sand, but nevertheless, Glass Beach is one of California's most interesting beaches.
The Fort Bragg city dump once stood here. It closed in the 1960s, but broken glass remained. Over the years it's been ground and polished.
For many years, a steady stream of visitors collected glass to take home. Finally, before this unique sight was lost forever, the state parks took it over, and removing glass is now prohibited.
Glass Beach also collects lots of pretty seashells.
