Black Sands Beach is a beautiful beach that is secluded. We went on a busy weekend, although I hear…read morethat on non- busy weekends or weekdays you might have this place to yourself. You park and walk down to the beach. When we went the bathrooms were out of order. It's a beautiful beach to walk along and soak in the views. Tip: Don't go near the water. There are signs all over to stay 100 ft away or more from where the waves break due to the under toe.

This is a beautiful beach with some seclusion. It can feel like your own private beach since it's…read morenot crowded. It has a small parking lot, a lackluster bathroom (bring hand sanitizer ) and a hike down to the beach. The journey to the beach isn't too long and you can catch some pretty spectacular views from above. The beach itself is unique, clean, quiet, calming. Perfect for photography, lounging around, picnics but not swimming so much. Tides seem rough and there's lots of rocks here. The hike back uphill was a hard one if you're out of shape like me. The locals did it no problem though !

What a fun place to go. It appears there are bathroom, but there is a keypad on them so we weren't…read moresure if they were open. There is a small parking lot with lots of spaces open on Wednesday, May 5, 2026, at around 6:30pm. There is still plenty of daylight left so this was a perfect time to visit. There aren't signs to glass beach, just a sign at the parking lot for glass beach. If you take the unpaved path and walk straight out you'll find it. To the left is a would sculpture of whales and to the right there is a sandy path to walk down to the beach. Don't climb the rocks, walk on the sandy trail. Soon as you get to the bottom you will be walking in nice size stone mixed in with broken shells. I'm not sure what kind, but there is a ton of broken pieces. Next you will get to the gravel part closest to the water. The gravel has mixed softened edges of glass pieces. The glass looks like tiny pebbles. You're not supposed to take anything home so please resist to there will be something to see for the next person that goes. The glass is all very tiny pieces. Mostly clear or green pieces. I didn't see any purple or red pieces. I believe we saw a lot of purple jelly fish. I didn't touch them so I wasn't to sure what they were. They were all washed up on the beach. This isn't the type of beach that you'll bring your beach chair and wear your bikini too. This is more of an exploring beach with trails around the area. There were no signs that said no dogs so there were a few dogs. Just make sure you're like the people we saw picking up after your dog. We had a fun time on the beach and took lots of fun pictures.

This is a top destination location for Fort Bragg, but it was definitely underwhelming. It could…read morehave been the time of day we went, but my husband and I were not impressed. It was actually disheartening to see so many people out there digging at the sand and collecting the glass. I imagine it used to be alot more abundant and beautiful, but to me, it was just a sad sight. It was packed with people and even looked a bit dirty. I'd say, head here if you're in the area, but don't expect the romantic version of it you've seen on social media. Just my two cents!

We've been going to this beach since before I could remember! The sand is so soft, warm, and silky…read more When the tides are out, there is this hidden cove/arch way area which is so beautifully secluded & great for photo ops or being with nature. Further to the left side of the beach are various jagged, giant rocks with some little passage ways. Our family dubbed this beach as "Sunset Beach" because they are un-real at this beach. The best is to climb the hill on the right side of the beach, & watching the sunset from there. One bummer is the amount of shell/wolf-life poaching. I remember being a child, wading through the shallow waters on the far left hand side of the beach, & there were tons of whole sand dollars everywhere. Now, people are too focused on the capital/social media "likes". Please, if you can, refrain from taking stuff in the beach.

Favorite Fort Bragg Beach by far. Close to Road, and great for little ones. The rock tunnel is so…read morecool! Sand can get really hot! Bring flip flops! The hidden beach is truly hidden. You have to walk around to go find it! Today I saw a small shark and sand dollars! Great day at the Beach!
