Hi Bobbi, 

Thank you for your question! I love looking for sea glass. I find that the beaches on the south side of PEI are best for sea glass hunting. It seems to be more plentiful on the south side for some reason. Souris Beach is very popular among searchers! Souris even has a whole festival dedicated to sea glass. This year the Mermaid Tears Sea Glass Festival will be held on July 27th and 28th. 

Some people prefer low tide for searching, but it's not necessary as it can be found up along the high water mark as well. 

Have fun! 

Valerie
