About Bayshore Beach
A mix of sandy stretches and stony paths on Sea Street, west Saint John, next to the Digby ferry terminal. A local collector notes the site was a former city dump, so old rubbish keeps washing up, and the city's tourism office promotes it for beachcombing at low tide.
Sea glass at Bayshore Beach
Collectors report unusual pieces among the common colours; search at low tide, when Fundy's huge tidal range exposes the most shore.
Visiting Bayshore Beach
- Getting there
- 599 Sea Street, Saint John (Discover Saint John).
- Safety
- Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
