A Barcelona beach on the site of a vanished shanty town, where the amount of glass varies by the day but the pieces are well worn.
About Badalona beach
A sandy urban beach just north of Barcelona. A collector says glass turns up all along it, and storms bring in the best pieces, though a casual stroll still finds plenty.
Sea glass at Badalona beach
Aqua, teal, lavender, cobalt, black, red and orange as well as common colours. Look by the rocks near the Pont del Petroli, in the pebble drifts and on the surface of the sand at the water's edge.
Visiting Badalona beach
- 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.

A Barceloneta city beach where small, well-frosted glass gathers in the coarse pebble strips rather than the groomed sand.

Plage des Aigues Douces
One of several small urban beaches on the Golfe de Fos, opposite the Fort de Bouc, with more glass than one collector could carry.

The main beach at Les Issambres and a smaller cove to the south gave a week's worth of glass, including turquoise and old black.
