What Georges Wilson found here
Can be a really good spot for older sea glass, especially around the cliffs at either end of the beach. That’s where most people seem to have the best luck, though you’ll want to go near low tide and keep an eye on the waves. Some very old bottle glass has been found here, probably coming down from the old tip above the cliffs. The main beach near the surf club is much easier to reach, but usually not as productive.
