Community
Beachcombers are a worldwide community interested in sea glass, beach glass, seashells, beach fossils, rocks, driftwood, conservation, wildlife, jewelry, art, travel destinations, and more. Our diverse community includes sea glass hunters, jewelers, artists, shell collectors, mudlarks, and rock hounds, all with different interests and expertise.
