About Devereux Beach

Devereux Beach sits on Ocean Avenue at the neck of Marblehead, a mix of coarse sand and rock piles. The rockier curve of the beach does the most work tumbling glass, so that is where the better pieces collect.

Sea glass at Devereux Beach

Large, colourful pieces are most often found where rocks outnumber sand along the curve of the beach. Look for cloudy surfaces and smooth edges.

Visiting Devereux Beach

Getting there
Ocean Avenue, Marblehead.
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.
