So glad you enjoyed it!

I'm not sure. I only go by cruise ship, so there isn't time to go anywhere else on the island. I know there are some sea glass Facebook groups that have info on PR.

Jauca has a lot of seaglass. The beaches with a lot of rocks are going to have the most seaglass. Was just there in April.

I hope you wrote a review on Google or Trip Advisor. I've stayed there so many times and have had nothing but stellar experiences with them. They've gone out of their way to accommodate me on numerous occasions.

@@BarbaraIngramTravel On Tripadvisor. We did speak to another manager the next day and they promised they ‘would look at the issue’. There is no evidence they did. They had other issues. When we left that day there was a huge queue waiting to get rooms which was getting a little spicy.

@@truebrit3578 Sounds like something strange was going on. Maybe they're shorthanded?

@@mystoriumX why are you being an apologist for them? If a hotel is shorthanded its fine for them to offer you a room with a broken toilet or tell people who have reservations that they are overbooked? I had used their Bowery location several times and posted good reviews about it - other than their signature bar being privately booked every evening so it was practically impossible to use.

Ok, thanks for the info. I was just there a couple of weeks ago and hadn't noticed the change.

Yes they do. I will need to show those in the future. Thanks!

I'm not sure. I haven't heard of those.

I'm so glad you found this helpful!

Thank you! It's such fun to go there.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'm terrified of heights and we had to turn off the camera at one point so my cousin could come retrieve me from where I was glued to the side of the cliff and couldn't move lol.

Yes, we always bring our own equipment when we cruise.

We did hear there was a big land slip in December, but haven't been back and don't know what it took out.

Yes, we've seen a dramatic decrease in the past 6 years since we've been going.

If it looks black unless you hold it up against a bright light like a cell phone, then it's considered "Black Glass" or what they're now calling "Pirate Glass." It's just not as old as the amber or olive green colors.

Anything that looks black without shining a light through it, is considered "black glass." It was just traditionally made with very dark olive/amber colors. But later they made dark glass using all different colors. In the sea glass world, it's all considered black glass of you can't tell the color just by looking at it. The romantic term 'Pirate Glass' has recently started circulating when referring to black glass. Even though it has nothing to do with pirates.

Oh I’m watching while commenting… you have beacon point marked on the map🤦‍♂️ also… that creamy coloured one you have as dragon glass I think is actually opaline glass… and that bit is the biggest most perfect one I’ve seen!! 🥰

And I reckon that dude down on the beach is Paul gammy… known locally as ‘jammy Gammy’ … him and his friends go to some spots they have to absail into!! … that massive dragon egg you found though 🥵🥵🥵 dreams are made of that ! The storm thing… yea I find big lumps at high tide but I find you need a few tides after a storm to just filter everything out and leave the goodies on the top 🤘

Yea… the black truffle has the BEST cake! 😂

I had to laugh at your replies while you watched...very entertaining! 😂 That was not Paul on the beach, but we did look for him during our 2 weeks there, however, we never ran into him. We did meet Andy Iceton, though, and thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him and learning more about the local area. I've been going for about 6 years now, but finally decided to make a video since we never could find any reference info for the area south of Seaham. And the piece I called Dragon Glass (instead of opalescent) was because it had green stripes throughout (hard to see in the picture), so I took the liberty of categorizing it as something a little more special than the regular opalescent. 😉 I do appreciate your knowledge and comments, and thanks for watching!

Your comments brighten my day lol. Yes, it was super scary and I'll never do it again. 😊

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

We had a wonderful time. Everyone was so friendly, and of course you have the best pubs.

I love this comment! I never considered that we bring a different perspective. We love it there because it's quiet and serene and the cliffs are so majestic. So I guess we see it in a different way than someone who's lived there their whole life.

We just spent one day in Bimini. But cruise itself was longer.

Nice! I hope you have fun!

It says in the video that they came by cruise ship and walked to the beach.

We’ll thank you so much for pointing that out ! Lol you are so helpful!

Nice! Enjoy!

Sorry, I have not heard of Harbor Beach, only Radio Beach and Honeymoon Harbor.

@@BarbaraIngramTravel that’s the name Thank you

Yes, it's not far. The last time we went, we just walked back to the pier.

Yes, that is exactly why we went in October. We had no issues parking anywhere, and there were very few people around. Summer is a nightmare!

Nice! It's such a fun place. I will say that their prices have increased dramatically since we were last there. I think the golf carts are now $125 for 4 hours. We also found some additional fun things to do since I made this video. I have a blog that explains more. I'm revising it today with our latest adventures, one of which was finding a place for cheap beer and an quiet sea wall to sit and drink it :). I'm envious that you're going. I want to go back! Here's the link to my blog: traveltipsandinfo.com/2021/10/08/visiting-bimini-island-by-cruise-ship/

I just uploaded a Bimini Part 2 video with some low-key things to do and updated info.

My laptop is 15" and it's a tight fit, so the whole bag is probably 15 or 16 inches high. It's an Eastsport, and I bought it about 15 years ago in Boston. It's the best backpack I've ever had. Very durable.

Tui does allow Americans to book. Do you mean that their flights don't originate in the U.S.?

Actually it's hard to find sea glass in Florida, because you need beaches with rocks, and ours are so sandy. But some people have had luck where I live, in Satellite Beach. Some have found some nice pieces down near Sebastian too.

I'm so glad you found this helpful! We tried to go to sea glass island in Aruba with Theresa, but our ship got in too late. I'd definitely recommend a Bonaire sea glass trip with Jeni, and Curacao is good too. I mostly go to Spain and England for my sea glass and don't travel too much within the U.S. I did go to Maine last May, but hardly found anything. And the glass on the beach where I live in Florida isn't great.

@@BarbaraIngramTravel im a local here in Puerto Rico and if you come here for a few days and your searching for sea glass I do really recommend to go to the west side, in aguadilla (northwest) there's a stunning beach that has plenty that you can see on plane sight its called Crash Boat. They also have for surfing, food with fare prices, you can snorkel there and you see beautiful fish with different colors, and kayak.

@@penny145 Thank you so much for this information! We are usually there for such a short time, that we are unable to leave the OSJ area. But if we by chance can stay longer, I will definitely check it out. That was very kind of you to share.

Thanks!

Depends what you're looking for. Some people want boring.
