Stockton beach
I had the best luck entering at Lexie’s and walking to the right. Definitely best at low tide, but can find larger sea glass pieces up higher one the shore line too. At the end there’s often a large pile of shells/rocky pieces that have lots of sea glass but it can be found all along the beach. I found lots of green, seafoam, brown, and white glass. But also found quite a few UV reactive pieces, a few purple pieces, teal, pink, and cobalt though definitely rare. I visited in Feb 2026.
Rare coloursLoads of glass
Glass Beach, Robe
Small rocky cove just outside Robe, below the Cape Dombey obelisk. It used to be the town dump, so there’s still a lot of old bottle glass around, especially brown, white and green. Seafoam, teal and light blue pieces turn up too, and some still have lettering on them. The cove is only really accessible at low tide. Go on a calm day, as the water can rise quickly and the swell can catch you out.
Hard to reachUncommon colours
Malabar Beach, Sydney
This beach can be a bit hit or miss, but it’s worth checking if you’re nearby. Brown glass is by far the most common, with white, green and the occasional pale aqua piece mixed in. Some days people find a lot, while other days it’s mostly a few brown and white pieces. Low tide gives you more ground to search, and the beach itself is easy to walk.
Uncommon coloursA good amount
Bellerive Beach, Hobart
This is an easy beach to get to from Hobart and a decent place to look for sea glass. Most of what turns up is brown, green or white, with some older pieces mixed in. The rocks at the eastern end are usually more productive than the open sandy part of the beach, so that’s the best place to start.
