Sea glass enthusiasts and artists unite for a weekend of celebrating the beauty and mystery of the sea. Immerse yourself in exquisite sea glass creations from talented artists, jewelers, and designers, and gain fascinating insights from beachcombing experts through a series of educational presentations. Topics include sea and beach glass, coastal history, and shoreline preservation, with lectures held in the Tom Clagett Boat Shed and Meeting House. 

The Collectors Showcase highlights extensive private collections of sea glass, beach pottery, sea marbles, antique bottles, and other shoreline treasures. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own finds for expert identification and to enter the annual Sea Glass Contest in these categories: Find of the Year, Frosted Bottles, Bottle Stopper, Pottery/Ceramics, Unique Find, Historical Find, Marbles/Buttons/Beads, and Vendor Entry. Winners will be announced on Sunday. Over 50 sea glass artisans, craftspeople, and authors from around the world will be on hand all weekend, offering unique sea and beach glass-related artwork, jewelry, and books for sale.
