Where to look

Search at low tide right after a storm, in the shore break. The best spots are below the cliff, among the rocks.

What you can find

green, clear, multicoloured art glass

Best wind: W, SW, NW

Rules

This is a dangerous place: waves can be very large, the water is cold, and the ways down cross steep, loose shale. Stay off private land and keep to the paths.

About the beach

The beaches at Davenport are known for art glass: floods on San Vicente Creek carried waste from the Lundberg Studios glass workshop into the sea. The pieces have recognisable colours and patterns.

Do not miss the next window

The best windows last a few hours: after a storm, after rain, on a clear night with an active Sun. Sign up and we will email you when the index at your spots goes above 60.
