Glass Beach — Attraction in Hawaii

This review, on it's face, is not what it seems. Read on dear fellow meat-bag jockey, read on.

Of all the beaches on Kauai this is the one that offers stiff, long lasting, undiluted Kauaian flavor.

Pharma-Brohs and Insta-H0es need not apply, and thank Chripes. I'd wager 98% of the village luddites that can afford to vacation on Kauai, can't sustain more than a tenner on this beach. Which makes it a haven away from the godless heathen hords that frequently travel to this island.

Don't come to the "Glass Beach" without an adventurer's spirit, as you can't find the true glass these days without traveling. Second... - the glass directly on "glass beach" is gone, done buried and harvested years ago. You must grasp your black pearls and travel on, to find buried treasure.

This is a legit Kauai goldmine of an experience. If visiting Kauai with a prospective fiance, bring them to this beach for an afternoon of exploration. There are hidden spots be"on"d this beach unlike anywhere else on the island. Spots that can't be seen or heard from the cliffs above. Hidden crevasses, and 🍩 beneath the beautiful blue 🌊, if you take the time to find them... Tide-pools formed with trash of old, and engine blocks galore, I'm told.

If you find my words to be too crip-tique, look south east to the long line boys, you'll see. Follow the tetanus trail to splendor, bring good footwear if you endeavor.

If you find this trashy gold mine I describe, and your prospective to-be wedded lover swears diatribe, then good news I have in-store for you. You've dodged not just one bullet, but two. Because as you age throughout the years, you see idyllic visions of one's life, recede. You come to find that pricy taste, makes waste like a trashy, man-made beach, at sea.

Cheaper cuts is where true flavor lies, and I highly suggest you live your life; interested in this grand curiosity of how time takes us all from living, to sea.

10/10, would tetanus again. For a fun drinking game, take a shot every time you find an engine...

This beach was neat to experience but don't feel like you're missing out if you can't make it. Most of the glass is very small, more like coarse sand size, but it is pretty when you hold it up to look closely. Be sure to wear shoes here, there is tons of fresh/sharp broken glass around, it's not all beach glass. It seems like an area people use to party as there are broken bottles and trash strewn about, it's not a nice beach to swim or sunbathe. The coolest part to me was that the tide was low enough we could walk on the rocks out toward the right-hand side of the beach and there in the side of the cliff face was a lovely coral display where people had taken washed up pieces of coral and placed them in the nooks and crannies of the cliff face. It doesn't look like much in the photo but I thought it was pretty and enjoyed seeing the corals others had picked to display. I had fun choosing my own piece to add to the display. The area is very industrial as others have mentioned and I wouldn't leave a vehicle unattended for very long. Careful going out on the rocks on the left-hand side of the beach, there is a lot of rusting metal embedded in and jutting out of the rocks from...

All glass - nothing worthing saving. Yes, that’s the verdict. So why 5 stars? - the whole beach is glass - tiny fragments, but at least 50% glass.

Will you find pieces worthy of your collection - probably not. This is a place to see - not harvest.

If you want good glass to take home... look elsewhere - really. The beach itself is amazing because of all the glass, but there’s no great glass to take home here. But the ‘sand’ is tiny glass ground by waves to a fine sand, and if you can’t appreciate that - then skip this beach.

Look on a map, there’s glass on nearby beaches, but the people looking for easy pickin are going to be sad. But if you’re looking to see something you’ve never seen - this beach is amazing. Want to take some glass home? You’ll have better luck and bigger pieces just west ... be curious, creative, and willing to go and you’ll find pieces you’ve never imagined, just not on this beach. All brown, green, and white and nothing larger...
