Glass Beach, Fort Bragg, California Photos by nk_aroundtheworld
Glass Beach is a beach near Fort Bragg, named from a time when it was abundant with sea glass created from years of dumping garbage into an area of coastline near the northern part of the town.
History
In 1906, Fort Bragg residents established an official water dump site behind the Union Lumber Company onto what is now known as "Site 1". Most water-fronted communities had water dump sites discarding glass, appliances, and even vehicles. Locals referred to it as "The Dumps." Fires were often lit using Molotov cocktails to reduce the size of the trash pile.
When the original dump site filled up in 1943, the site was moved to what is now known as "Site 2", the active dump site from 1943 until 1949. When this beach became full in 1949, the dump was moved north to what is now known as "Glass Beach", which remained an active dump site until 1967.
The California State Water Resources Control Board and city leaders closed this area in 1967. Various cleanup programs were undertaken through the years to correct the damage. Over the next several decades, what was biodegradable in the dump sites simply degraded and all the metal and other items were eventually removed and sold as scrap or used in art. The pounding waves broke down the glass and pottery and tumbled those pieces into the small, smooth, colored pieces that often become jewelry-quality, which cover Glass Beach and the other two glass beaches (former dump sites) in Fort Bragg. ——————————————————————— Follow nk_aroundtheworld for more! ——————————————————————— Nikkor 24-70mm F2.8...
There are many beautiful beaches in California it’s true. And when you time it right, every single one will give you some pretty amazing views 😍. . . This beach is by far my favorite one we have near us! If you time it right, sunset is simply fantastic. The light hit the bridge just right and the beams shine through it. Just past this bridge is a wide open space of smooth deep sandy beach and a stunning view of the ocean 🌊. . . I’ve been bringing Maple here to this spot since she was itty bitty and I cannot wait for one of my favorite seasons that will be coming up so that we can get the next one! #fortbraggphotos #fortbraggbeaches #wccorgis...

I do not know how I have not shared this photo yet! It’s got to be one of my favorites, it’s from our trip we took a couple months back. We stayed at our favorite dog friendly motel thebeachcombermotel which right out side of the motel room, past the inviting deck with the fire pits is this beach, our favorite beach. It doesn’t matter the time of year, it’s never disappointing and I’m so glad we got to go. The sunrise is always so breathtaking at the beach. . . Where is a favorite location for you to watch the sunrise?...

We are in the home stretch toward fifteen. January always feels like a month of deep reflection on the life of this sweet soul that I get to nurture and prepare for the world. The bittersweet notion that i return to time and time again, is that our days together are really quite brief. As he embarks on fifteen and we peruse the course catalog for his sophomore year of high school, as we talk about college and beyond, I know that the empty nest is looming and so are his grand adventures. My heart is permanently oscillating between the melancholy arrangement of absolute joy and deep sorrow. To have been given this gift of a son, to have spent years cultivating his roots, and to have witnessed the emergence of these wings that will help him embark on his many journeys, that is what makes my heart sing. The road ahead may be uncertain, and surely nothing is promised, but watching this boy head down his own path will be my greatest joy. 💚✨...
