California's Gold with Huell Howser
Beaches
You all are probably wondering what a glass beach is? Well, as usual Huell discovers some of California's strangest gems, and on this trip Huell strolls two beaches that are a treasure hunters paradise. In the coastal town of Fort Bragg, Huell visits what the locals call, "Glass Beach," where you'll find a kaleidoscope of colored glass glittering in the Pacific surf: azure, scarlet, mauve, amber, amethyst and teal. Next, Huell travels twenty-five miles north of Eureka to Patricks Point State Park where he finds a gently covered strip of sand named "Agate Beach." Mother nature has polished semi-precious agates into beautiful little gems on this aptly named beach. It's another great place to spend a day.
