They were super accommodating and welcoming to my dog. They also provided a cute half bottle of wine from a local winery. It was storming the first night, but on the next morning, had beautiful view of the ocean from the room.

Glass Beach is a beach in MacKerricher State Park near Fort Bragg, California, that is abundant in sea glass created from years of dumping garbage into an area of coastline near the northern part of the town. Once upon a time the sand was coated in brightly colored bits of sea glass, and social media is full of photos that make it look as if the sand still looks that way, but that isn't the case. Over the years the public has raided the beach of much of its glass. Now at first look, some might say it looks like any other ordinary beach. Yes you can still find glass here, but you have to look for it, and most of colored glass is long gone. It all makes for a fun little treasure hunt however! What I love most about the Glass Beach is its dramatic coastline that lends to extraordinary photos right on the ocean, like this one! #wheretoexplorenext #thebestisyettocome #adventure #getlost #optoutside #getoutdoors #naturelovers #nature #adventureculture #explore #exploremore #keepexploring #wildandfree #wildernessculture #travel #travelstoke #roamtheplanet #wanderlust #travellife #travelgram #letsgosomewhere #mytinyatlas #stayandwander #wandermore #adventureawaits #liveyouradventure #discoverearth #sheisnotlost #iamatraveler
