A fine-sand and pebble beach by the fishing harbour at Seal Cove, at the south end of Grand Manan Island. Wide tidal flats open up at low tide, giving long walks. It is one of the island's most photographed spots and suits families.
Sea glass at Seal Cove Beach, Grand Manan
Collectors report plenty of glass, including lavender, cobalt, seafoam and soft blue alongside whites, greens and ambers. Go at low tide and search the side nearest the harbour.
Visiting Seal Cove Beach, Grand Manan
- 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.
