What I Miss About Walking the Sands

I have only been to the ocean once and it was at night. I just walked in the sand and let the waves come up on me. It was the Atlantic Ocean. Where was the ocean that you used to live by? Sorry that you lost your sea glass.

You are lucky to have ocean so close to you. However, it is far from where I lived. Good that you enjoy your time while walking.

We might see them on our beaches, but often they are itty bitty and hard to spot. Right, it is much more sentimental when you find these treasures yourself.

We have nothing like that on the beaches of the Mediterranean and Adriatic sea.

Somewhere in the countless storage boxes I have, there is a large piece of emerald green sea glass I found on the beach as a kid. It's roughly in the shape of a cube, and is about 4"x3"x2" in size, with very smooth polished sides and edges. I've kept it all these years. I wish I knew where it was so that I could display it. It's definitely a conversation starter.

Love walking along the sands all year round. When the children were young we used to dash down on a Friday nigh, have a fish and chip supper in this fab cafe, walk along the beach either in sunlight or lamp light, then go and do the 2p slot machines. In the summer we used to paddle and collect shells, never saw any sea glass. So sorry you no longer near the sea and can't find your sea glass. How far do you have to travel to get to the sea now? The theatre at the seaside used to do a pantomine on NewYear's Day which we would go to, doesn't do it now But love going to the seaside on the 1st January

I have a beautiful beach stone on display in our living room. I got it during our beach vacation last January. I don't recall ever seeing sea glasses there though.

I have had a piece or two. I can imagine how you miss those walks in the sand.

I wish I could live near the sea too. That is one of the things on my bucket list. It has been decades since we went home to my husband's hometown where the sea was just a block away. For the time that we were there, I collected smooth sea stones too. And the rounded, white stone, in which I wrote my name and my husband's, and the date is still here with me.

I used to have some sea glass from Texas when we went there on vacation.

I remember picking up shells with the kids.

You mean sand on the beach? Yup, I like to feel the texture there. So, interesting.

I've never lived near the sea. When I went to beaches, I looked for sea glasses too, but not many here.

when i occasionally went to summer trips, i had but i also couldn't have waited to go into the shade cause it was too warm for me to be outside when were you living near the ocean?:)

I am sure I have picked that up before, but I don't have any now. I have a storage locker that contains all kinds of things. It could be there. The Great Lakes have some of that as well. Same sort of pounding wave action.

I was a beach comber too collecting shells but now I cannot walk on sand any more. I need to take care of my back

I have found many shells but never found any sea glass,

That is something I hadn't ever done while at the beach. I am sure there are some beautiful colors to be found.

I’ve only been to the beach a few times and the only thing I found were sea shells.

I used to collect different seashells when I was younger. Then I would say to myself, what are you going to do with all these shells?
