About Fish Beach, Monhegan Island
Monhegan is a small, car-free island about ten miles off the Maine coast, reached by ferry from Port Clyde. Fish Beach, by the harbour where the lobster boats work, is small and sandy but holds a lot of glass, while rockier Pebble Beach nearby rewards a low-tide search.
Sea glass at Fish Beach, Monhegan Island
Plenty of glass on Fish Beach, much of it fairly young; smaller, older pieces hide among the boulders and pebbles of Pebble Beach.
Visiting Fish Beach, Monhegan Island
- Getting there
- Ferry from Port Clyde (about an hour); Fish Beach is by the harbour near the ferry landing.
- 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.
