Glass Beach: a small bay by the harbor
At Glass Beach, a grassy bank looks down on a narrow strip of reddish sand. The industrial buildings across the water place it in the working harbor landscape. The resident’s other photograph looks along the dark rock ledges at the edge of the bay.

Waimea Pier: a longer stop farther west
The wooden rails at Waimea draw a straight line out toward the ocean. Turn the view around in the resident’s other photo: from the water, you can see the dark shore and the buildings behind it. Choose Waimea if you want the pier and a wider horizon.
