What you can find
green, brown, white, fine glass gravel
Best wind: S, SW, SE
Rules
The beach borders industrial land; do not enter fenced sites. Endangered Hawaiian monk seals rest here: NOAA advises staying at least 15 m (50 ft) away. The glass is dwindling, so photographs are the best souvenir.
About the beach
Glass Beach is in the industrial area of ʻEleʻele, next to Port Allen on Hanapepe Bay. Glass worn smooth over the years has collected between the basalt stones.
