Glass Beach

Amazing! Beach access is limited/hard to get to at the moment. Stairs washed out. Also, do not keep any glass from beach.

Glass Beach

Beach access is not friendly to the agility challenged, but the views from the paved pathways and smoother dirt trails are gorgeous. Good free parking, and an accessible restroom at the trailhead.

Glass Beach

There are signs saying not to take the glass, but so many people have taken so much that there's nothing left. Now it's just a beach, and not a great one.
