Hello Allan, 

Thank you for reaching out to Ask an Islander. I find that the best beaches for seaglass are along the Northumberland Strait side of the Island. Souris Beach is a pretty popular spot for this sport. If you go to Souris, be sure to visit the Souris Lighthouse. They have one floor dedicated to the history of seaglass. 

Tea Hill/Keppoch Beach and Pinette are also good places to try your luck. 

Have fun!

Valerie
