Also known as “Glass Bottle Beach.” Used to be a dump for horse rendering plants (read: horse parts floating in the water) which is where it got its name. Now it is a hidden treasure trove for vintage glass bottle scavengers. A landfill nearby had its cap broken and now trash from the early-mid 1900s comes to rest on the beach. Go during low tide, and wear sturdy shoes.
