About Willard Beach and Spring Point Shoreway

The Spring Point Shoreway follows Simonton Cove just south of the entrance to Portland Harbor. Starting at Willard Beach and working along the shore gives a good stretch of mixed sand and stone where harbour glass collects.

Sea glass at Willard Beach and Spring Point Shoreway

A respectable, sometimes plentiful, amount of general sea glass. Start at Willard Beach about an hour before low tide and work along the shore.

Visiting Willard Beach and Spring Point Shoreway

Getting there

Start at Willard Beach, South Portland, and walk along Simonton Cove towards Spring Point.

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.
