*Secret* Beaches and those who claim them. . .

by Anna
(San Francisco, CA)


From experience, I can tell you that the majority of people who are against telling others the whereabouts of their *secret beaches* are those making a profit off their sea glass and don't like competition.

I have seen hostility on the beaches, at shows and online and it saddens me that people can be so selfish.

I have seen women from across the ocean chastise those thousands of miles away (online) for divulging ANY sea glass location!

I spend a fair amount of time traveling world-wide in search of treasures to bring my customers and I am always amazed at the lack of hospitality shown me by those supposed business people who claim to "love and respect" the ocean and it's bounty.

Sadly, they give us all a bad reputation.


California Beaches:

Best Central California Beaches for Sea Glass
West Beach near the Harbor...Hendrey's beach (Arroyo Burro)...Butterfly Beach and The Hammonds (see details)...Summerland Beach...Carpinteria Beach (near Arroyo Grande)?

Ready for Northern California Sea Glass? Make your reservations:

I So AGREE!

I just posted on another page where some guy said "I wont tell you where I go though".

WTH? If I go there one DAY it ruins his seaglass hunting for LIFE?

I dont get it. If its a good beach then there is new glass every day.

And its not like we are all MOVING to his local beach.

IF we go it will probably only be for a day!

I also have seen people be very rude on the beach when I am out collecting.

But I just tell them I am only meant to have what I find.

I am not a threat.

I love looking for it and will not stop or let anyone bother me. It is a joy for me.
