so I was on Tumblr [of all places] and I found a post on glass beach…I thought to myself, I must go there sometime this lifetime. Talked to a friend about it and it ends up it was only 2 hours away! Here are some pictures I took and a brief history.

“In the early 20th century, Fort Bragg residents threw their household garbage over the cliffs above what is now Glass Beach. They discarded glass, appliances, and even cars. The land was owned at that time by the Union Lumber Company, and locals referred to it as “The Dumps.” Sometimes fires were lit to reduce the size of the trash pile….Over the next several decades the pounding waves cleansed the beach, wearing down the discarded glass into the small, smooth, colored trinkets that cover the beach today.”
