Glass Beach, Fort Bragg – California
Beach gets its name from the smooth colorful glass pieces that you can find in the pebbly beach. Its origins date back to the early part of the twentieth century, when the nearby city of Fort Bragg used the spot as its municipal landfill. For decades, tons of trash were dumped into the ocean, or burned at the shoreline, until ‘The Dump’ was closed in 1967. Over the years, the glass bottles were smashed to pieces, then worn into colorful clear beads that mixed in with the course sand and gravel at the beach.

Although it was created more than 500 years ago, the outside world had no knowledge of this incredible archaeological site until the early 20th century, which is why Machu Picchu is often known as “The Lost City of the Incas”. The three major structures of the site are the Temple of the Sun, the Inti Watana, and the Room of the Three Windows.
