How to Find Sea Glass

Sea glass can come in different styles, colors and designs. Some can be several years old, left over from a piece of colorful glass, eventually making its way to the shore side. Many times the glass is contorted or formed into a unique shape after years of being formed by the salt water, rocks and currents. Sea glass can be easy to find if you are looking in the right locations.
