Glass Beach

Glass Beach, Port Allen, Kauai, Hawaii

What a unique find… a beach that includes both light and black sand and glass. Sounds painful, right? Not at all!

The smattering of beach glass is softened and beautiful smoothed by the ocean waters over time. Colors will vary, with amber and clear being the most prevalent, but fabulous greens and blues exist as well.

Not a great beach to spend the day or swim, but worth a stop to see the glass!

The glass varies daily, my visit it was just teeny tiny pieces of glass, but on some days, it is amazing larger pieces ~ great for jewelry and keepsakes.

*I will definitely be heading back for a bigger glass day and photo.

Amenities: Parking

Directions: Highway 50 to Port Allen, turn on Waiaolo Road, turn left on Aka Ula Street (it will turn into a dirt road) parking area is up ahead when you see the ocean.
