A surprisingly crowded and blustery day at the beach

Lincoln City, Oregon

Why was the beach so crowded today? Glass Floats and Lincoln City's Finder's Keeper's program!

This very cool program began at year 2000, when 2000 glass floats were hidden around the beach, a reminder of the glass floats that once floated in from Asian fishing boats but do not so much any more. Since 2000, the town has maintained the program and expanded it by one float each year. Found floats are the property of the finder, and finders can get a certificate of authenticity for the float. Floats are made by local artists, and glass foundries are common in Lincoln City.
