Sea Glass Island is one of Aruba's most unique and fascinating attractions. The island is covered in colorful sea glass that has been worn smooth by years of ocean waves, creating a sparkling, multicolored carpet along the shore. The glass comes from decades of ocean currents washing over discarded bottles and ceramics, transforming them into smooth, colorful treasures that are now scattered across the island's beaches.
The sea glass comes in various colors—blues, greens, browns, and occasionally rare colors like red or purple—creating a beautiful, unique landscape that's unlike anything else on the island. The shallow waters around the island are perfect for wading and collecting glass, while the remote location makes it feel like you're discovering a secret that few visitors know about.
Once you arrive at Sea Glass Island, you'll have the opportunity to hunt for sea glass with the help of your experienced guide. The guide will help you identify different types and colors of sea glass, share information about how the glass was formed, and ensure you have tons of fun and adventure while exploring the island. The sea glass hunting adds an element of treasure hunting to the experience, making it exciting and engaging for all ages.
The island provides plenty of opportunities to find sea glass, with the beaches covered in these colorful treasures. Whether you're looking for specific colors, sizes, or simply want to collect some beautiful souvenirs, the sea glass hunting experience is both fun and rewarding. Many visitors enjoy the hunt itself as much as the treasures they find, and the guide's expertise helps make the experience even more enjoyable.
