Glass Beach, California

This beach is a testimony to nature’s astonishing knack to twirl trash into treasure. Overlooked by sea cliffs this place was once just a well-situated discarding land for Fort Braggs’ junk. Up until the late 1960s, individuals would toss their refuse – counting old cars and appliances – straight over the cliffs and into the oceans. At last the establishment put a stop to it. Over the consequent decades, the sea carried out an extraordinary sleight of hand act, acting like a massive tumbler to winnow out the glass and turn it smooth. Currently the seashore bears a resemblance to a gem shop. People used to collect the glass, but that’s now forbidden.
