Getting to look for beach stone in new places is my favorite part of taking a vacation! (Don’t get me wrong, my cousin’s wedding in Rochester last weekend was beautiful and fun and I had an amazing time dancing/talking/laughing with my 12 cousins and my aunts and uncles!) But ever since I got a tip from my Facebook Fan Page friend about Lodi Point Beach on Seneca Lake, I knew that there was no way I’d travel all the way to Rochester, NY and miss this sweet little beach that’s an hour and a half south of there! Lodi Point is a great place to find smooth, flat stones and also beach glass π Other points of interest for this beachcombing delight is that the park has public restrooms and a large playground for the kids! No swimming allowed, but who wants to swim when there are so many awesome rocks to play with??

The reason there’s so much beach glass at Lodi Point is because of all the wineries around the Finger Lakes. In fact, we ended up just 4 miles from my dad’s cousin’s award-winning winery, so we stopped by to say hi to her, too!
I can’t wait to start making jewelry from these beautiful stones! I brought back so many, I think I’ll drill some to offer as supplies to other artisans, too π Anyway, if you’re like me and can’t resist a new beachcombing adventure, I give a big thumbs up to Lodi Point Park on Seneca Lake. A fun side trip the next time you’re in the Finger Lakes region!
