While not your conventional beach experience, visiting Glass Beach on Kauai was a lovely adventure! We hopped over to Kauai a couple years ago while living in Honolulu. While we were there, we stopped off at Glass Beach. There is a dump off to the left just around the bend where the glass comes from. Decades ago, locals used to dump their old cars and trash at this spot. Now it’s a lovely weathered wall of fused, rusted metal. The old car parts and garbage are uniform in their orangey-brown goodness, and have become one with the rocks and earth. It’s really remarkable.

Here are some snaps of what we experienced. It’s amazing how beautiful and interesting trash and decay can become, isn’t it? Want more info on Glass Beach? Check out this article.
