Seaglass Locations

As an avid sea glass collector, I’ve had the privilege of finding these beautiful gems from beaches all over the world. Each location offers its own unique charm and history, which I love to incorporate into my jewelry. Below are some of the places where I've found sea glass that’s inspired my designs. 

Casco Viejo, Panama

Casco Viejo, the historic district of Panama City, is a place where old-world charm meets the vibrant energy of modern-day Panama. The cobblestone streets and colorful colonial buildings are a sight to behold, but it’s the nearby beaches where I’ve discovered some of the most striking pieces of sea glass. This area, with its rich history and proximity to the ocean, has yielded beautiful shades of green, amber, and even the rarest hues of blue. The sea glass from Casco Viejo carries with it a sense of history and timelessness, which I love to showcase in my work.

Bocas del Toro, Panama

Bocas del Toro is an archipelago in Panama known for its lush rainforests, crystal-clear waters, and laid-back atmosphere. The beaches here are pristine and often less frequented, making it a perfect spot to hunt for unique sea glass. I’ve found stunning pieces in vibrant colors—from soft aquas to deep emeralds—each piece shaped by the gentle waves of the Caribbean Sea. The beauty of Bocas del Toro is not just in its landscapes but also in the sea glass that tells the story of the natural forces shaping these shores.

North Beach, Racine, WI

North Beach in Racine, Wisconsin, holds a special place in my heart as it’s where my sea glass journey began. Growing up in Wisconsin, I spent many hours walking along this beautiful stretch of Lake Michigan, searching for the smooth, colorful glass that would later become the foundation of my jewelry. The glass here, often in shades of green, brown, and frosty white, is a reminder of the deep connection between nature and creativity. North Beach is where it all started, and every piece of glass I find here continues to inspire me.

Seven Bridges Park, WI

Seven Bridges Park, located near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a serene and hidden gem for sea glass hunters. The park, with its beautiful walking trails and tranquil lakeside views, offers an escape into nature. The glass here is often shaped by the calm waters of Lake Michigan, with pieces in soft blues, greens, and subtle amber tones. Seven Bridges Park has a peaceful, almost nostalgic vibe, and I love finding glass here that reflects the natural beauty of this quiet space.

St. Augustine Beach, St. Augustine, FL

St. Augustine Beach in Florida, with its golden sands and historical charm, is one of my favorite places to search for sea glass. I went to school in St. Augustine and attribute my times away from studying to beachcombing these beaches. The beach is rich with history, being one of the oldest cities in the U.S., and the sea glass found here often carries traces of that history. From rich emerald greens to translucent whites, the glass from St. Augustine is often tumbled by the Atlantic waves, making each piece uniquely smooth and polished. I’m always inspired by the timeless beauty of this location and the glass it has gifted me over the years.

GTM NERR Beach, St. Augustine, FL

GTM NERR (Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve) Beach is one of the more serene, nature-preserved locations where I’ve discovered exceptional sea glass, but primarily shark teeth. This pristine stretch of beach, located near St. Augustine, is part of a protected ecosystem and provides a peaceful, untouched environment for beachcombing. The natural beauty of GTM NERR Beach, with its diverse coastal wildlife and tranquil atmosphere, makes it one of my favorite spots to explore for glass and fossil treasures.
