Glass Beach, United States

From series “Top 15 Most Romantic Beaches on Earth”
In California, there is an amazing natural attraction, Glass Beach, which has recently been very popular with lovers of relaxation in romantic places. The main feature of the beach is a coast, strewn with small coloured stones. At first glance, they resemble the most real gems. In fact, the main decoration of Glass Beach are glass fragments honed by waves.

Glass Beach, United States In the rays of the sun placers of coloured stones look simply amazing, giving the coast a fabulous view. The history of one of the most unusual beaches in the world is very interesting. A few decades ago on this stretch of the coast there was an industrial rolling-pin. When the dump was closed, the beach was forgotten for several years. During this time sea water turned industrial waste into amazing treasures. Nowadays, the beach is very popular with curious tourists and couples in love. It is the main attraction of the McKerry Circle National Park.

After many years, people cleared the coast from the garbage. Only the tiny glass fragments were not removed. On the coast you can make a lot of impressive photos and buy original little craftwork made from the polished glitters in nearby souvenir shops. For those who want to diversify the holiday with a truly romantic event, be sure to visit the Glass Beach and admire the amazing "rainbow" of stones. Next - Lencois Maranhenses Beach
