About Panmure Island

A barrier island reached by a short causeway, with a historic lighthouse and beaches on both sides. Collectors say the open ocean beach yields little, while the calmer red-sand bay facing St Mary's Bay is where the glass collects.

Sea glass at Panmure Island

Whites, greens and browns along the tide line on the bay side, about two hours either side of low tide.

Visiting Panmure Island

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 follow the collecting rules above.
