~ beach glass report submitted by: Linda, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio Awesome, huge beach! We always find so many beautiful pieces of glass here ... mostly greens, aquas, whites and browns, with the occasional cobalt. This beach also has beautiful rounded, smooth basalt rocks if you love beach rocks, too!
Mentor Headlands Beach
Mentor, Ohio, USA
Greens, aquas, whites and browns, with a few small pieces of cobalt and/or cornflower blue.
There are, of course, always pieces with the unpolished edges, but we just throw them back to 'finish'!
Public beach.
~ Aug 5, 2015 - Beach report submitted by Erin in Willoughby, Ohio, USA Beach: Headlands Beach, Mentor, Ohio Every time I go to Headlands Beach, I find a small handful of beach glass (after about 2 hours of looking).
-
The idea is to look along the small stones on the shoreline and possibly against driftwood near the shore.
-
Spread the rocks lightly or dig slightly to reveal beach glass.
-
Sometimes, it will be sitting right on top of the stones, though.
A variety of beach glass can be found.
The most common are green and clear/white.
Brown, light blue and cobalt blue are the next most common. I've seen yellow and red, but, those are somewhat rare.
The beach closes at dusk.

Beach: Headlands Beach near Mentor, Ohio, USA
Headlands Beach State Park is EXCELLENT for finding beach glass. (*see note below)
With 3 experienced beach glass hunters looking, we found over 100 pcs with-in 2 hours.
-
Not sure of the quality but the quantity more than makes up for that.
-
Most of the colors were white, brown, green and turquoise.
-
We did find a few cobalt pieces but unfortunately no red.
-
The pieces were well rounded and frosted.

We always have good luck no matter what time of year we visit.
- On a good day you can find up to 10-15 good jewelry pieces an hour - whites, browns, greens.
- We always go home with some real cool tiles, marbles and just a couple fun colors like reds, orange, blues.
- On an off day you might only find 5 big good pieces and plenty of smalls.
This is a public beach with miles to search so feel free to spend the day there and grill up some all American food, be sure to check for closing times since the restrooms and outdoor showers close up.
