Great sea glass finds on Dominica

Great sea glass finds on Dominica-


We were on a tour in Dominica with a guide we'd hired. I told him that I would like to make a stop at a beach to collect sand/shells/sea glass.

So while we were driving around in the middle of nowhere, he made a stop at a narrow strip of black sand beach.

Sea glass, buttons, pottery shards-- they were sitting around everywhere!! I found cobalt, several greens, browns, clears, black, teals. It was all there.

I even found a ceramic domino which had washed up onto the beach. I filled my pockets until they were dragging around my knees as quickly as I could, as time only allowed a half hour there.

I sure wish I could go back!

I would say those were great sea glass finds! A ceramic domino?????

It must have been either a dump or shipwreck...since you said there wasn't much else around, I'm leaning toward a ship that ran aground in a storm and broke up on the beach sometime in the past.

We would love to here more about sea glass finds on Dominica!

Did you ever take any photos? How do you get to a good beach there? I would love to go this next year.
