On each trip to the sea, I always look for ocean glass (a.k.a. sea glass, Mermaids’ Tears). In County Cork, I got lucky in the town of Schull.
Right next to the ferry port, there is a tiny beach area, and there was a lot of ocean glass among the rocks and pebbles.
A large group of Spaniards, I suppose they were students of English, were lounging around. Then one of the young men helped me in my search. He brought me a new glass shard – he probably thought I was cleaning up the beach area. I politely accepted it.
This was the only place, where I could find any ocean glass in West Cork.
