That was exciting and very beautiful!
I loved seeing those marvelous colors!
Wow those dark blue stones are absolute works of art! I wanted that one so bad!
Bucket list!
love the circular sea glass very pretty😍
enjoyed the video
How beautiful
I'm going for a look there tomorrow afternoon. Usually go to Blast beach, just around the corner, this look less accessible, and usually that means better finds :)
Definitely less accessible! Be careful and bring a friend with you!
Beach combers paradise beautiful.
Whats hard to believe that the generations before thought it was ok to dump trash over the cliff...
So many generations on so many beaches!!!
2:01 pennydoll head still has its face 🙂

Yes l collect everything & anything that is useful in my creativity or simply rugged beauitful.😎😷😇🌬
What a beautiful place!
I would like to take some stone...
I paid a visit here on Sunday, that trail is steep, slippy with sand and gravel, I decided to slide down on my bum as I didn’t want to fall, be very careful and wear good footwear, if you are unsteady
I wouldn’t recommend it. You will find the trail down around 6 feet to the right of the signpost between the bench and the wooden post, do not attempt to get down where those green rails are. I collected loads of glass including a lot of boaty blues, which can also be found further down the coastline into North Yorkshire. I found one piece of glass with aqua swirls and yellow spots. This beach has some of the most stunning beach pebbles I have seen, agates, jaspers and red coloured flint which I shall be tumbling, if you love beach pebbles the next best beach I can recommend is spurn point, a huge variety including plenty of fossils
This trail is definitely not for the faint of heart, and best to go with a local to guide you!
Wow 😮 me want to go , this is absolutely beautiful spot, maybe you should do a hiking meet up there! What are the tides like my lovely ? Are they worse this time of year, do you know the tides at all.
I have been looking at doing this sort of thing for ages now and following a few mudlarkers. Would be good to go with people who actually have been or know the area.
Many thanks 🙏 for your wonderful work and research, well inspiring and beautiful, the planet we live on , Amazing 😉
If you could give any advise I would Very much appreciate it truly 🙏😊
Namaste 🙏 my friend
And thank you again

There are some really great locals who visit the beaches there and are super nice about showing the safest ways to visit. Email me at info@beachcombingmagazine.com and I can get you in touch with them!
i live about ten mins away i was down there today ! its a lovely little spot but a bit dangerous getting down onto the beach
Is that a charlotte dog in the video because I've found one exactly the same but people are saying it's a sheep
İNANILMAZ MUHTEŞEM BİR YER..ORASI NERESİ.
Nope. I am too old for that! Plus I am in Texas so....
It's pretty scary!
Wowwwwww
I had a lot jf this dragon glass at home as a child, my grandmother used to bring it from work. She told me it was waste from producing something. I could ask my aunt if she knows something about it.
We used to call it opal glass
@@constantine8299 Would love to know where she got it and what it was from! Thanks!
Constantine
Oh yes please !
Always good to talk with your elders , full of useful information.
Dragon / opal glass ! Intriguing ♥️🙏
Bless you
Kind regards

I am planning a trip late summer early Fall. When are the best times to go? I took my sons years ago in the summer but did not find this beach. We found a "Ravenscar" brick....the Town that never was!
Ooh that sounds interesting: The town that never was! Very cool. I think winter/spring is good after things are churned up. But you never know when you'll get lucky!! Shippersea beach is really hard to get to so you need a local to show you the way. And, it's slippery when wet so not accessible all the time. Have fun on your trip!
Does anyone find shells or shark teeth there?
Hi New subscriber here, really enjoying your videos, quick question at the 2:07 part of video there's a square looking thing, just curious as to what it is, I've found one of them at the beach In my hometown before and still have it, I kept it because it lntrigued me but what is it? Is it part of a game or something with you talking about abandoned toys etc, if anyone can tell me what I have I'd appreciate it, thanks 😊
Lucky you! The one shown there is a chuckstone. The game was also called knucklebones and was similar to the American game of jacks. You can see some more from Shippersea collectors at around 2:00 at ua-cam.com/video/u8XOa7iwIzw/v-deo.html. Thanks!
@@Beachcombing Thank you for answering my question, I live in the UK and have never seen one before, I tried to search for it on the Internet but with no luck as I didn't know what I was actually searching for 😂 now I know so thanks.
I recently found some cool codd marbles too, I love finding things.
Are there any articles in Beachcombing Magazine about Seaham and if there is who contributed them? Would it be Paula Newman ?. Looking at your seaglass festival speakers ; this is the only name I see for this area. ?
We have quite a few articles about Seaham. You can see them all at www.beachcombingmagazine.com/search?q=seaham&type=article. Paula has been a longtime supporter of the magazine and has contributed some great articles about Seaham and the surrounding area.
@@BeachcombingHave read them now
could the mystery glass be of a natural origin, such as a meteor impact or lightning strikes in sand that washed into the sea?
The glass is most likely waste glass, as much of it has the telltale "barnacles" that happen when glass is cooled too quickly. There actually isn't much sand in this area!
I absolutely love sea glass, but I just want to know one thing...
Who’s the asshole who thought, “Hmmm what shall I do with all this broken glass??? Oh, I know!!! Let’s throw it into the ocean!” 😂
The Victorians.
Or find fossils?
Well it's not a secret anymore
Nope! But it's still very difficult to reach!
@@Beachcombing yeah thanks its one of our local hidden treasures
Please, please, please remove this video. We do not want Londoners, or anyone outside of the northeast of England to discover our beautiful bit of coast and countryside. They'll ruin it for everyone
