This is so obnoxious! Just like the tourist luring photo that appears everywhere, so staged. Go away! Leave the human garbage relics alone. It doesn’t really look like this.
I have met so many disapointed tourists who see photos like this and then see the reality.
There are so many beautiful things to find along the coast, but it truly is unfair to use that photo to lure tourists here. I don’t know when the photo was taken, but I’ve lived here 45 years and Glass Beach never looked like that.
Its liberal dominated, mostly tents, trash and used needles.
