Beach combing is a popular pastime on Lincoln City’s sandy stretches of beach, but did you know you can also find hand-blown glass floats? During the year, local Float Fairies hide extra glass float treasures along the beaches from Roads End to Siletz Bay during Special Drop Days.
This Spring Break, March 16 – April 14 – an additional 200 glass floats will be hidden for treasure seekers to find and keep!
Rules of the Hunt
- Floats can be found above the high tide line and below the beach embankment.
- Floats are placed on the beach during daylight hours only.
- Floats are hidden throughout the day, not just at one time.
- Floats are out there everyday rain or shine. On rare occasions, weather and ocean conditions can create unsafe situations. Official notice of any cancellations will be made on our social media channels and website.
- One float per person, per year.
Float Registration
- When you find a glass float, call 541-996-1274, text FLOATS to 866-943-0443, or visit this registration page to register your treasure. You’ll receive a Certificate of Authenticity and information about the artist who crafted your float.
- If you would rather register your float in person, stop by the Lincoln City Visitor Information Center at 801 SW Hwy 101, 4th floor Monday through Friday 8am – 5pm.
Interested in Creating Your Own Glass Float?
Lincoln City Glass Center offers appointments with local glassblowers where you can create your own glass art. Choose from a fluted bowl, glass heart, paperweights, or a votive candle holder. Sessions range from $75-$220. Your item has to cool in the kiln overnight and will be available for pick up the next day, or you can choose to have your glass art shipped.
