Sea Glass Bay, Blacks Harbour

About Sea Glass Bay, Blacks Harbour

A cove inside the Connors Bros. Nature Preserve at Blacks Harbour, on the loop trail that runs towards Pea Point lighthouse. Collectors describe the glass as dense enough to look striking in photographs, and Beachcombing Magazine rates the area as a fantastic beach for both glass and pottery.

Sea glass at Sea Glass Bay, Blacks Harbour

Lots of white with greens and ambers, plus pottery shards. Fundy tides here are high and fast, so don't linger on the bar out to Pea Point island.

Visiting Sea Glass Bay, Blacks Harbour

Getting there

Walk the Connors Bros. Nature Preserve loop towards Pea Point lighthouse. Don't confuse it with the small cove behind the ferry car park.

Parking

At the preserve entrance on Wallace Cove Road.

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.
