I love beachcombing, and Fort Bragg has a neat Glass Beach. The spot used to be a dump, and the ceaseless roll of the waves and ebb and flow of the tides have turned years and years of garbage into alot of polished stones and interesting tidbits. I spent hours there and got a kink in my neck from walking around staring at the ground. It’s fun if you are into that sort of thing.

You do have to beware a little bit, though, as there is also alot of rusted metal.
