I used to live n Puerto Rico and our secret spot was River Mouth in Puntas, town of Rincon. I could collect baskets full in a day. Haven’t been back for a number of years so I don’t know if it’s still the same way, but the whole experience made me addicted to sea glass for life. Great post!

Thanks

Thanks, Sarah. Agreed – the best thing to do if you’re a true sea-glassophiliac would be to buy one of those tumbling machines that polish stones, break up your bottle, and tumble the pieces for a while to remove the edges. Another way round it might be for sea glass enthusiasts to collect bags and bags of it, and then charter a boat and scatter it around a good distance offshore – so by the time it reaches the beach, it’s all safely blunt…?

I totally love sea glass too! It has to start somewhere! But, uh, until it actually smoothes down, there’s the risk of spiky bits in your feet in the sand… I know you’re being tongue in cheek, but I’d hate for someone to take this seriously and start tossing wine bottles around the beach!!! But alas… I do love sea glass!!
