The best beach on the center of the island to find sea glass

Answer by:

Hi Marshall, 

Thank you for reaching out! The best sea glass beaches are on the Northumberland Strait side of the Island. The waters on that side of the island are a little calmer and just more suitable for sea glass hunting. 

The most popular beaches for the precious sea glass are up in the Points East Coastal Drive region. Souris Beach is quite popular. Souris even has a whole festival around sea glass in July! 

In the central part of the island, I would try Argyle Shore or maybe Victoria by the Sea

Happy hunting!

Valerie
