Exploring California's Glass Beach: From Trash to Treasure

June 30, 0016 12:00 AM
Glass Beach was originally a part of the land set aside for the Pomo Native Americans. It was later retaken, delegated as a military fort called Fort Bragg, and over the years softened into the quaint coastal town it is today. In 1906, the town’s residents designated a small bay along the coast as a garbage dump. Forty years later, they moved the dump’s location, but only after irrevocably changing the coastal environment. Nature took the byproduct of the dump and recycled it into a glittering coastline.
