Sea glass collected at Ōpunake Beach, New Zealand

What Georges Wilson found here

Stay away from the foot of the cliffs. An old dump below the cliffs near the beach is eroding into the sea, and a beach cleaner reported asbestos in the debris (1News, November 2020). The main beach near the surf club is easier to reach and safer to walk. Go near low tide and keep an eye on the waves.
