The views are stunning, the headlands hiking, or the biking, or strolling along the ocean are all just a must see. Goes now from the Glass Beach area in Fort Bragg north and south with paved paths, or headlands hiking. It also begins in Fort Bragg near the Safeway just past. Every view is different and a must do on a clear day with views of the ocean forever and sometimes fishing boats too. Bring your binoculars to see when it is clear too. You will see birds, and we saw pelicans diving when we went. The rock formations are amazing, and the surf was turquoise blue when we went and clear water. It can be cold or windy but was warm and sunny when we went. It is easy to socially isolate but bring your mask required when you cannot. There are restrooms only at the beginning and free parking too. It is a must do while you are in the area and you can walk forever or a short ways.

The sand at this unusual beach is covered with interesting-shaped and colored rocks and stones.

Glass Beach is very attractive - a short walk takes you to tide pools, rocks to climb, cliffs to watch the surf, for whales and to gaze North to the Lost Coast. A former city dump, bits of colored glass are about all that is left. Walk from town, or park in lot. From here, there are paved trails for walking/biking going South to Noyo Harbor/Pomo Bluffs Park, and North to MacKerricker State Park, camping, board-walk to seal watching, a trail around Lake Cleone (walk only), then on to Ward Avenue and Ten Mile River's long beach and dune complex. Restroom at trail head.

Always a pleasure to be on this beach. Where the river meets the sea! The sound of a distant foghorn, the sound of the waves and the view of the ocean or harbor. A lovely, quiet place!
