Are their really Glass Beaches?

You bet there are. My friend and I have sampled a couple in Bermuda, Hawaii, Barbados and each is very special. Some of the glass --- buffed by sand and surf, is spectacular.

There was a story about Hawaii glass in the Philadelphia Inquirer recently and I also saw a story on www.bermudasecrets.com recently too. I've listed the story, Quest for Bermuda Glass, from this site and I think you can find by clicking below.

It's funny, there are bracelets made from some of the glass, as it can be very beautiful.

Happy exploring!

Beach Glass is real in that it exists but it is not a "Naturally occurring" item.

They are pieces of discarded manufactured glass (like bottles and jars) that has made its way to the ocean. The action of the surf tumbles and breaks it into pieces then smooths the rough edges and scratches the surface making it appear 'frosted'.

Although they are pretty and cool to find they are not miraculous.

I agree with the last two people who answered.

They are not miraculous, that's for sure, and it does come from broken glass that makes its way from the ocean to the shore. Also agree with the person who gave the web siting for a story about the glass. It's sort of a quest to find it, and a lot of fun!

Well seeing as glass is a product of sand I see this as being quite plausible.

Cheers
