Glass Beach Kauai Hawaii

Port Allen, Kauai HI
It takes the ocean about 10 to 30 years to create sea glass, and the resulting tumbled glass by the ocean is a frosted, jelly bean-like pebble.

Glass Beach is located in the middle of an industrial part in Hanapepe, Kauai. The shoreline of Glass Beach is covered with millions of sea glasses - brown, aqua-colored, clear and blue.

The glass found at Glass Beach was broken bottles and auto glass dumped by Swiss Cheese Shoreline on the western end of Kauai. Located between Lawai Beach and Salt Pond Beach Park, Glass Beach is a stretch of glittering pieces of broken glass. It's amazing to see what the ocean did to all that junk. The one thing that could mar the ethereal effect of Glass Beach is the gas tanks overlooking one side of the beach.

I was lucky enough to enjoy Port Allen and have to say that this beach is so much fun!!!! I also got to bring home a lovely assortment of drift wood from the same beach!

This is so cool and this amazes me about Hawaii with the difffering beaches she has to offer. Green,black,red,white,golden, and on and on. I am wondering if pink is there like in the Bahamas. I hope this government does more to protect the Hawaiian beaches and now is the best time for Hawaiians to pursue it since Obama is the prez and he lived there.I hope Hawaiians take advantage of this. Just hope the radiation stays away this is a disaster that needs to be contained fast.
