4:02 heart shaped in the middle For the people that can't see it, it's on a black rock in the middle lower right of the guy's hands.

Unbelievable colors and amount of glass. Red and blue are always the rarest.

Unfortunately now it's plastics. You could argue that glass can be recycled by nature at least.

This guy has a voice that can soothe a baby to sleep.

Fun fact, on the Isle of Wight south of uk, they recycle glass into ballast for concreting and when the concrete is finished you see all the bits of glass in it.

8:40 Lookout a giant sea otter is behind you.

I'm a chronic rock picker and I would be in HEAVEN. Thank you for showing it

Its sad that even though we trash our ocean the ocean tries to make it beautiful.

Growing up with a crafty mother there was always a lot of sea glass in our house. She loved crafting with it and glued it to everything she could!! Every time I see it I think of my Mom. She would have loved this place!

Went to glass beach back when I was about 8 on a camping trip! Wasn’t really frowned upon to take glass back then, I had a ziplock full of amber blue red and white glass for the colors of America. Won’t ever forget that

A lot of those striking colored glass are depression glass pieces. Many people still collect depression glass plates glasses and such.

The beach with broken glass :-O People in the past were not much smart with their environment.

I am glad that a place like this so close to my home has became a tourist attraction. And yes, the glass is okay to take. None of the three sites are illegal to take glass from. Fort Bragg is not a state Park, or anything, taking the glass is basically considered cleaning up the environment.

I grew up in Mendocino County, CA. My parents were teachers, and after taking classes where they learned to make art from found objects, had interest in Glass Beach. We visited Glass Beach several times in the 1970s and I continued to visit there through the 1980s, 90s and 2000s on trips home after I moved out of state. Over the years a lot of glass was removed, and the last time I went there, there was not as much glass as you found. Winter storms move the contents of the beach around, so more washes up. In the 1970s, to get to Glass Beach, you had to trespass through lumber mill property. There were no trails or signs. You had to be in the know to get there. It is a secret no longer, but is much easier to get to. Glass Beach is one of my favorite places!

Rumor has it the Infinity Stones are located there

Wow!! Love looking for sea glass I’ve found some along Lake Erie and even in Cuba when I was stationed there. But never to that extent. That would be fun to walk that beach.

I love beach glass. You can make beautiful artwork and jewelry with beach glass

My dad did his training at Fort Ord which now sits empty with all the homeless people I don't understand why they can't reopen and teach them to take care of the place that way they'd have an address and be able to be kept a better eye on and possibly receive medical treatment and some well needed psychiatric treatment, instead of letting the place right away my dad went back to visit recently and said he was very upset at the state of Fort Ord. He said they kept that place in Immaculate condition and it was a source of Pride for the officers being that was her home away from home and now it sits with the grass unkempt. It really upset my old man. He was stationed there waiting to take off for Vietnam witch fortunately didn't happen for him his number never came up thank God thank God

Would absolutely love to see it in person. Thanks for taking us along!

Good stuff man. I can't wait to take my son across the country and explore! Thanks to you my list of things to do and see is growing! Be safe and enjoy!

Thank you Chris,Super cool video as always! Wow,That is amazing and like your attitude about something nice out of a sad practice.Stay well.Safe travels,,73

Hi, the blue's and greens are really pretty, especially when the sun catches them. Thanks for sharing your wondrous journey. x

I’ve been there a few times over the years, I live a few hours south in Santa Cruz. Thank you for trip down memory lane.

kool thanx////grew up in Bodega Bay.....Fort Bragg is classic...the human journey continues

Hey Chris. Great video. Next time you go to Southern New Jersey stop in Cape May and look for some "Cape May Diamonds" at Diamond beach. Definitely worth checking out.

You never cease to amaze me. You take us on such incredible explorations. Ty for sharing your videos and adventures. HUGS and blessings from NY State 🏞🌌🌠👣😎👍

Just amazing Chris! Thanks you for all you show us.

That's crazy. I grew up in northern California and never new that was there. Thanks for sharing.

Tourists - my my my mine!

It’s neat how it looks like colorful rocks until you do a close up view, neat place

Dear Fort Bragg, This video was the catalyst for our trip from Washington to Ft Bragg for a small vacation. 3 nights hotel, dining out for every meal, shopping, etc.... Pay this man!

We used to collect "Lake Glass" on the beaches around Erie and Superior as well. Though there is not nearly as much as there seems to be in California. I've seen low water pools near Pictured Rocks that look like the ground is covered in gemstones. Thanks for sharing the experience!

Blue glass is from Noxzema cream bottles. it was used as sunscreen before sunscreen.

today's garbage dump is tomorrow's anthropologist's playground.

Another new thing I learned from you. Thanks again for an interesting and informative new place for us to tour.

Hey Chris! Love this vid. Looking forward to more. J

I clicked on the thumbs up button. It went from 1.3K to 1.4K. I guess my vote counts as 100. Sweet!!

I like your kitty hawk shirt. My family has a beach house nearby there in Nags Head, NC.

It must sparkle on a sunny day. Beautiful

OMG sea glass! Wish I was there!! it is so beautiful thank you Chris1

Unfortunatly it takes many years to make broken glass safe to walk on. University of Hawaii Maui tried to use planters in the parking lots to recycle glass as ground covers and it has created not only a mess but a problem here because bare feet and flip flops are very common (more so than shoes)

Glass Beach is my favorite place on earth. I love finding the bright blue ones.

Beautiful place, Thank you, Chris.

One of my favorite places to visit. Some fun restaurants in this town as well.

Wow. The amount of glass dumped there must have been staggering

Wow that is so interesting. As a kid I used to walk the beach with my mom and she would treasure the smooth beach glass. I’m sure someday she’d love to see a beach made entirely of glass smoothed down by wind and tide. Amazing!

Nice video Chris...it's amazing what the power of the ocean can..stunning scenery...thanks for sharing.

Diamonds in their natural state!

I couldn’t believe my eyes! That beach is amazing! (Though not so exciting sea glass hunting when you can just pick up fistfuls! )

i was just trying to look up the band glass beach but this is cool too

one of my favorites,thanks for sharing

Beautiful.. thanks for sharing this. I used to dig along the railroad tracks coming out of San Francisco. They threw out garbage there as well!

I'm kind of pleased and surprised at the lack of modern trash and graffiti

I live close to Seattle and our beaches on the Puget Sound are covered in hypodermic needles and orange caps. Watch your step.

Really like your videos, Chris. You have such a nice, calm way of explaining thing.

My wife and I go to the shores of Lake Erie and we gather beach glass that is from shipwrecks! There’s not that much but if you know the right places you can find great pieces! Awesome video!

Wow the sand/silicone material that glass is made from has come full circle, back to being sand on the beach!! This is the kind of thing I adore seeing in my YT feed 😀👍💛 If I had stumbled onto this beach by accident there, I'd've been stunned, standing with tears streaming down my face in amazement 😊 (I wrote a poem in 8th grade (1976) about finding love with a harmonious kindred soul being like broken colored glass melted together underfoot :) Btw purple is an almost impossible color pigment in glass. Reds are also expensive & unusual. Purple is what they call a "fugitive color" in glass, bc light (esp strong sunlight) quickly causes purple pigment in glass to turn clear. If you do find purple looking glass, it's often a faded, muddy color. That's why we don't see much of it, people often don't bother making it much, purple glass items can be expensive, and if you expose it to sunlight it soon won't be purple. For red glass to be a really red instead of a violet red, it must have actual gold melted into the glass. Many retail items of colored glass are actually clear with a thin coating of plastic or other pigment on the surface. If you're interested in studying or collecting valuable glass with gold in it, study milk glass & ruby glass. If glass stays out in the sun for enough years, it can get a rainbow finish over time from just being left outside. I found mason jars like that on a friend's property after her aunt died. The aunt had left jars out broken & whole in the yard behind her cabin since the Great Depression, and the broken pieces in the sandy clay dirt were rainbow colored. Also "vitrail" glass with natural rainbow finish is found on the streets of Rome, from ancient times, & is often made into jewelry. I've had several jobs working with & selling glass & crystal items, both old & modern. Glass & its colors & history of manufacture around the world & throughout history from ancient to modern times is an endlessly interesting topic 😀

In greece beaches are full of glass too. The broken bottle one.

This is why I subscribe. You find the most interesting places. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels.

I live about 30 miles from this beach. I would always go to it growing up. About 10 years ago, there was easily 3-5x that amount of glass. Kids and adults alike love to collect it haha.

Amazing to see how the glass has evolved from trash. I wonder how the wildlife has adapted to such a large area of debris. Thanks for sharing..very interesting!

You should get a bunch of that glass makes it with epoxy and you can make cups or a table that was really cool

You go to some cool places ! Never heard of these beaches before....Thank you for taking us along on all your journeys ! Love your videos ! Keep doing what your doing ! Safe Travels always !✌ + ❤

That is so cool , love the beach glass ...

I just hope that all the other sand particles don't feel like underachievers.

I've been to the small beach you did not show. It is incredible to touch, sit in, walk on and look at. I never tasted it so not sure if it tastes good. hahaha

wow! when i was little we used to collect those with my mom💞

Wow that’s amazing. Love it.

How do you pull off all these trips? Sea Glass Beach. Awesome.

the smoothing of the glass bits razor sharp edges takes a long time. at some point this was a nightmare death beach.

Really enjoyed seeing that. Never heard of those beaches. Thanks for sharing. :D

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Imagine dropping a diamond in there

Woah, exciting site - I like how it blended well with nature somehow in the end although must be horrendous at first...judging by the fact it was dumpster!

This beach is incredible! Great video!

Thank you for yet another great video.

In Hawaii beaches there's signage for "No Taking Rocks," these beautiful beaches need those signs.

Growing up they were known as "Cape May Diamonds" (NJ)

That's amazing; I've been to Fort Bragg, but never knew about this - probably 20-yrs ago. I love finding Sea Glass, but down here in Tassie, I rarely find any on the beaches - perhaps because they didn't dump much in the seas around here as they did in California - and it is an interesting point about the evil coming back as something lovely - although we won't be able to say the same for plastic. Very enjoyable - be interested to see the Pacific Coast HWY since they've replaced some of the washed-out bridges. I actually drove from King City, thru' Fort Legit down the Nacimiento-Fergusson Rd. to Big Sur; if you're still in the area or are in CA, and have time on your hands, a full tank of gas and cameras, well worth the drive - never know what you might see there! Thanks for sharing. 👍🐾😎💎

Here on the East coast of Canada, we called that sea glass and it's very popular here for exactly what you said, jewelry and all kinds of beautiful crafts. The blue and red, (red is said to have come from tail lights of cars that have found it's way into the water), are very hard to find here. Some of the glass has also come from shipwrecks. Pottery, different dishes.

Illegal to take glass from the beach, that is insane. Nothing wrong with the weathered glass being there though.

It's like that one band

Another great video! These beaches are really cool, glad you got to see them! Man I would love to go on one of your adventures, very cool what you do!

I have been to that beach before as a kid, it was such a pretty place to visit.

The big chunk of blue is probably only from the early 2000s it was all the rage for gardens then

I’ll start contributing by throwing a case of beers down there every week.

4:15 theres a clear glass thing on top of that black rock to the right of ur hand that looks like a heart❤️❤️

SIGHHHHHH......My bucket list just keeps getting bigger because of your videos!!! LOL!

Do you see the heart glass on 4:01 ?

we used that glass to practice gem cutting. older glass was tinted with trace minerals. red glass was made with gold. blue had cobalt.

I’m so glad I found your channel .

It looks so beautiful. Great story. It's crazy to think we dumped garbage there

People take these home as “souvenirs”...But hey, who dumped them in the first place? People

You can just toss some broken bottle fragments into a Rock Polisher and get stones like this.

*Thanks chris..enjoy your videos.* ✌

I have been to 3 places like this. They're great and none toxic

As always, the best non-hyped exploration videos out there! Shared on 5 platforms. Enjoy some new viewers. :>

From sand to sand will turn...

Back when I lived in Kodiak, AK, there were several beaches you could scour for pieces of glass or even entire glass balls from fishing nets!

Absolutely beautiful place. I would love to visit there.
