Glass Beach is an unusual beach in Benicia, California . The glass-sand idea now being proposed in Florida's Broward County grew from the unintentional consequences of an ocean dump site off Northern California near Fort Bragg. Beginning in 1949, garbage — including lots of glass — was dumped over a cliff into the ocean. While organic material degraded over the years, the glass broke up and became smooth as it tumbled in the surf. The area is now known locally as Glass Beach. Another dump site in Hawaii produced similar results. |
