It was a dump. Untold $$$$ has been spent to clean it up. Now that the government has taken over, it's illegal to remove the one time garbage.

Ignorant liberals continue to amaze. Maybe if I take a dump and call it compost one of them will come declare my bathroom a national historic site.

With the right targeting, detonation altitude, and megatonnage, we could easily create as many glass beaches as we wanted just about anywhere we wanted to. :=)

Bunch of jerks—liberals and park rangers.

A friend of mine owns the Glass Beach on an island in Maine that we spend the summers on. It was old glass bottle that were dumped there in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

A tour outfit from the mainland used to bring summer visitors there for many years in the 1960s and after, and each group of visitors would pick up glass, until there was not much left.

So, when my friend inherited the beach, he took a bunch of bottles—blue, green, other interesting colors—and busted them all over the beach. Within a few years it was worn smooth, and now the kids can pick up beach glass there again.

Typical government environmentalist thinking in this article—not allowed to pick it up, not allowed to make more of it, not allowed to do this, not allowed to do that. . . . And the guys who set the rules are mostly ignorant jerks.

Put up a sign that says “Nude Beach”, then sell band-aids. Make a million!

It’s hard to find “Cape May Diamonds” anymore. Maybe I should go toss some bottles over the bridge at the Water Gap. People of 1000 years from now will thank me.

Wow! We live in Ft. Bragg. Could not believe my eyes when I read this headline and thought someone else has a glass beach also. Yes, in it’s day it was quite fun to go down there and collect all sorts of glass. People still do, but pickens are scarce.

My Uncle Jack was stationed there after WW II. I suspect he and his buddies contributed some of the dark brown glass that is now so cherished.
