Where To Find Sea Glass
You can find sea glass around the river banks at your favorite beach. Depending where you live will determine how many sea glass you will find. Here are some areas that have lots of beach glass. Fort Bragg, California Cape Hatterias, North Carolina, Hilton Head, South Carolina. I live in Hilton Head Island and its been very hard to find some. I have seen a few pieces but not many. The key is to look after a storm when its low tide by rocks.
Basically any shore line there is a chance to find seas glass. The biggest source of seas glass are these beaches here where you will find hundreds of sea glass on the beaches. Bermuda, Fort Bragg, California, Benicia, California, North Carolina beaches, Scotland, northwest England, Mexico, Hawaii, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Nova Scotia, Australia, Italy and southern Spain are famous.

What a pretty candle holder, sea glass really is shown off to best effect like this.
Sea glass is definitely one of those things where, if you do spot it on a beach, it’s just rude not to pick it up, take it home and use it for a lovely craft!
I an having a hard time finding any around here in Hilton Head Island, but need to go to a beach someday with lots of them. Thanks so much Julie.
This is so pretty and so simple to make. I can’t wait to go beach combing on my holidays and see what I can find!
Its so easy and I was so surprise how the glue works very well.
I decorate my home with a beachy vibe, nothing can say “BEACH” but I use blues, soft yellows and lavender in my home. This would be gorgeous on a table. I also have a cutting garden, and I think it would make a beautiful vase.
Perfect I hope you make it. thanks so much for stopping by and leaving such a nice comments.
What a beautiful handmade candleholder, Maria! The colors are so serene and calming – much like the waters around the beaches!
Thanks so happy you like it. it is for sure has calming effects.
E6000 is a brilliant glue for sea glass – it works so well. Ive added the project to my sea glass round up post 🙂
Thanks so much and that is very kind of you. Have a wonderful day.
My God, I remember doing this when I was little and we went to my aunt, who lived near the beach!! I loved doing this so much! And I also remember for Halloween I glued dried pumpkin seeds on a small black vase. It turned out very atmospheric and cool. But your stones look incredible!! What cool colors!! I think your article is a hint that I will need to collect stones on the coast in the summer and do something similar. In fact, it’s so easy to do! I love these things. It’s very cute and you can feel the soul in such crafts.
Thanks so much for your wonderful comment
