International Sea Glass Museum

Glass Beach Jewelry, owned and operated by Capt. Cass Forrington, a retired sea captain, opened its International Sea Glass Museum in January of 2009. It was immediately so popular, drawing thousands of visitors its first year, that Capt. Cass doubled the museum's size in January of 2010, added another room in October of 2011, and another, "black light", room in April of 2013. The museum is now a "Must See' for all visitors to the Mendocino coast. Fort Bragg, located on the beautiful, pristine, north coast of California, is situated amongst the awe-inspiring redwood trees. It has the highest concentration of sea glass in the world and is a sea glass Mecca for collectors and sea glass artists from all over the North American continent and the world. This makes it the ideal location for the world's first, and only, sea glass museum. Capt. Cass' sea glass collection, numbering about 150,000 pieces and still growing, is probably the world's most extensive collection and the sea glass museum displays his finest pieces, including rare stoppers, handle pieces, rounds and marbles.
