Sea Glass Love

[Barb Y]

Awesome story! Thank you for sharing it! I was thinking Drunk Bay and beaches on that part of the island. Best of luck on finding the perfect piece of glass. Sounds like you already found the perfect partner! Be happy!

Thanks, everyone for the replies so far. I agree that the rockier beaches are more likely to be good for sea glass. We'll be staying in Coral Bay, so we should have some decent chances nearby.

I think my wife would like to point out that I am really not "that guy". My grand gestures are way too few and far between to qualify me as a romantic, but I do love my family and can't wait to spend 9 days all together on St. John.

I do hope to post a trip report when we get back, at least in part to pay back the many folks who've been so generous in sharing their trips with me.

Hi AH

My wife just reminded me that she loves the book "A Passion for Seaglass". Lots of ideas there (we haven't gotten around to do any of them yet).

What a great story, thanks for sharing!

Drunk Bay - Blue Cobblestone - Mary Point - Stevens Cay -Sabbat Point -Newfound Bay -Moor Point ---------- Anyplace that gets reasonable surge - not flat white sand - you are not allowed to collect anything from the NPS beaches.

I have wondered this about sea glass. I've never collected any but since technically it's garbage, wouldn't it be legal to collect from NPS beaches?

I wonder the same thing. We all would pick up a bottle or a broken bottle off of the beach or a broken piece of a bottle (done that many of times). When does a piece of glass go from trash to treasure? And would one actually get in trouble from the NPS for removing a piece of glass?

Lovely gesture, DrT--

As for the sea glass issue, there have been previous threads:

I don't think I get to take sea glass from a NP. It may not be clear, so I'll go on the conservative side. I think at least in the spirit of the parks, things should be left, not taken. I do think I can (and should) pick up trash.

What a wonderful story. My husband and I will also be celebrating our 15th anniversary this year with a vow renewal on St John in early July. We also have a 10 and 12 year old who are excited to be present for the renewal.
My husband asked me to renew our vows at the beach in North Carolina last year. He came in and woke me up early one morning, saying "Get up! You've got to come see this!" When we got to the bottom of the steps from our porch to the beach, "Will you marry me again?" was written in the sand!
I hope you enjoy your trip and find some sea glass to add to your collection!

We found a lot of sea glass on Vie's beach a few weeks ago and have also been considering making it into jewelry...thanks for sharing such a great story!
