Glass Beach as the most COLORFUL place in Fort Bragg, California

In California, a chain of Glass Beaches is considered to be a natural wonder. There are three known beaches in the Fort Bragg region and it shows how the nature deals with the results of human ignorance and indifference.

Fort Bragg, like many other cities located by the coastline, have been dumping garbage into the ocean. The dumping sites in Fort Bragg functioned from 1906 till 1967 and have accumulated a lot of trash, the heaviest of which, the glass, stayed close to the shore.

As a result the waves started washing out some of the heavy particles, which were influenced by power of water tides and waves, so they didn’t have sharp edges anymore and nowadays look like shiny, colorful glass stones.

So the Glass Beach in California is a great tourism attraction of our time but it should make us think about a lot of things.
