Shore walk over the site of the old Savin Rock amusement park, giving up a few well-frosted pieces of sea glass an hour.

About Bradley Point

The promenade at Bradley Point runs across what was once Savin Rock, Connecticut's answer to Coney Island from the 1870s to the 1960s. Long Island Sound tumbles glass slowly, so finds are few but well frosted.

Sea glass at Bradley Point

A handful of well-frosted pieces per hour rather than a big haul.
