GLASS BEACH, CALIFORNIA

Sand is definitely what comes into the mind when people think about beaches. But must a beach be made of sand ? I think that's a no noo cos i just came across this beach somewhere in California called Glass Beach.

Who would have thought that a dumping ground would become a thing of beauty? At California’s Glass Beach in MacKerricher State Park, that’s exactly what happened. In the early 1900s, residents from the Fort Bragg area used the beach as a landfill. After various cleanup programs and some time , the pounding waves broke down the glass pieces into small, smooth coloured pieces that often become jewelry quality.
