Where to look

Search the gravel on the beach below the battery and in neighbouring Building Bay. Pieces are often large and well worn, and old black glass turns up.

seafoam, green, white, black (old bottles), bottle stoppers, cobalt (rare)

Best wind: NE, E, N

Rules

We found no ban on collecting glass on this beach; check the signs in the park. Do not take objects from wrecks, because wrecks in Bermuda are protected by law.

About the beach

Alexandra Battery is a former gun battery near St. George’s, the oldest English town in the New World. Bermuda has been a naval port since the 1600s, and its reefs sank hundreds of ships.
