Official Website of
 The Fort Bragg Sea Glass Festival
 in beautiful Fort Bragg, California,
home of the highest concentration of sea glass in the world!



Glass Beach Jewelry's
Sea Glass Gallery and Museum,
A proud member of the
North American Sea Glass Association,
Is happy to announce its
Second Annual Fort Bragg Sea Glass Festival
Memorial Day weekend, 5/29-31/2010!

 Fort Bragg, California, is located in the majestic Redwoods on the glorious north coast of California. A unique place, where the rock formations set up wave patterns that keep everything on its beautiful beaches, historic Fort Bragg is home to the highest concentration of sea glass in the world and its glistening glass beaches are world famous!

Sea Glass enthusiasts, craftspersons, jewelers, and artists come to Fort Bragg from all over the world to collect it's precious gems.
Please do not be deterred by rumors that sea glass collecting is forbidden here. It is perfectly legal. Visitors are asked to be selective, however, leaving "un-ripe" and chipped glass where they find it, and the Park Rangers have begun a prohibition on collecting within the park itself on the basis of Resource Code 5097.5. The park area, however, now accounts for only about 5% or less of the glass in town.

 Come join us!
