Sea glass fanatics scour Maine beaches and craft with treasures they find

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • August 8, 2024

Maine’s coastline is ideal for the weathering and collection of sea glass, said Richard LaMotte, who has written books on the subject. As shards of glass zigzag down the rocky shores and in and out of rugged coves, the turbulent waves create an “abrasive environment” that produces that sought-after frosted texture, he said. Finding sea glass has become a national hobby in the past two decades, LaMotte said.
