Why this spot
The Digby ferry terminal area was once the Saint John city dump; refuse washed out and returns as sea glass and china on the beach, with 28 ft Fundy tides reworking it.
Beachcombing Magazine 'Bay-cation on the Bay of Fundy' (Karla Rodriguez Moran) states the ferry terminal area was once a city dump and lists blue and white china, stoppers, sea pottery and rare red glass; Discover Saint John lists Bayshore Beach at 599 Sea StreetView source →
