About

Glass Beach, located just outside of Robe, is a hidden gem that offers a unique experience for beachgoers. This charming spot features sand sprinkled with smooth sea glass remnants from its past as a rubbish site. While accessing the beach may require some climbing over jagged rocks, the effort is rewarded with breathtaking views and opportunities to explore nearby caves. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks along the shore while searching for beautiful pieces of glass to take home as souvenirs from their campervan adventures.

Stunning little beach ⛱️ some smooth glass stones here and there, returned to the shore from when the site was a rubbish area, many years ago. A little tricky to access the shore. You need to climb down the small rock face with a few jagged rocks. Definitely worth the stop at this little gem. Dog friendly too 🐕😄
There’s still glass there! Such a cute beach! We climbed down & up the jagged rocks safely & unharmed to access the sand
Beautiful beach. Hardly any glass anymore, bit difficult to access but stunning.

Reviews

Glass Beach, also known as Factory Bay Glass Beach near Robe, is a stunning little gem with smooth glass stones scattered on the shore, remnants of its past as a rubbish area. Accessing the beach can be tricky due to climbing down a small rock face with jagged rocks. Despite the challenge, visitors find it worth the stop for its unique beauty and dog-friendly atmosphere. While some mention limited glass now compared to before, others appreciate exploring caves and collecting glass along this picturesque beach.
