Glass Beach Fort Bragg – The Ultimate California Seaside

Updated

It is not okay when you see this, trust me this Glass Beach Fort Bragg California is not like others that give you pleasures of water and fun at the seaside only. It is as good and colorful as it looks in the images below. And it normally said that it was actually one man’s mistake that made this happen over the time.

It has a history from 20th century from Fort Bragg residents who throw the garbage and other waste household items. They throw all that from the cliff towards the beach which now is ‘the glass beach’. This is hard to believe that it is happening today. There was a time when people used to dump all types of junk materials into the ocean.

In the beginning of 1949, it became a usual dumping area where neighboring people used to dump their waste. It even made piles of it, there on, burning it all, was the solution to reduce the mess on the beach. Later on in 1967, the government officials sealed the area and closed for entrance. However, in the following decades the strong waves clear the beach by taking all the dumped junk into the oceans bed. While bringing small and smooth sprinkling glass pieces that has covered the Glass Beach Fort Bragg CA today.

This is how it looks like. Is it true or not, nobody is too sure about this story today, but it is however it’s done. If you know the whole story or some other information, do share with me.
