Glass Beach, Beach with sea glass in Kauai County, United States.
The shoreline contains countless pieces of smooth glass in various colors mixed with black sand along the western coast of Kauai Island.
The beach formed from discarded glass materials during the mid-20th century when the location served as a municipal waste disposal site.
Local residents and visitors collect sea glass fragments while following guidelines to maintain the natural character of this coastal location.
The beach requires proper footwear for walking on rocky surfaces and visitors should check tide conditions before exploring the surrounding lava formations.
Metal objects and glass fragments have become embedded within the nearby lava rock formations, creating an uncommon geological display.
