The journey: from the Savaneta ramp to Sea Glass Island

Chapter 01 — The Launch

Push off at Savaneta

We meet at the Sea Glass Island ramp, right beside the Flying Fishbone in Savaneta. Rambo checks your paddle grip and pushes you off — first light, full sun, or golden hour, the water here stays calm.

Chapter 02 — The Crossing

Out across open water

A short, easy paddle straight off the Savaneta coast — pelicans diving around you, the island growing bigger with every stroke. Five to ten minutes of calm Caribbean is all it takes.

Chapter 03 — The Island

The shore that glitters

Then the trees open, and the beach ahead sparkles in greens, aquas, and whites — decades of ocean-tumbled glass under your feet. Welcome to Sea Glass Island. Time to explore.

Chapter 04 — The Treasure

What the ocean left behind

Every piece of sea glass began as something ordinary — a bottle, a jar — and spent decades being tumbled, frosted, and softened by the Caribbean. Here's what you might find on the shore.

Bottle Green

Common find

The classic — born from old soda and beer bottles, frosted into soft emerald shards.

Ocean Aqua

Good find

Mid-century glassware frosted to the exact color of the water you paddled through.

Cobalt Blue

Lucky find

From old medicine and apothecary bottles — deep blue, rare, and worth the hunt.

Frosted White

Common find

Once clear glass, now moon-white and soft as a beach pebble. Smooth as anything.

Take the memory, leave the shore beautiful — Rambo will show you the best spots and how to hunt for sea glass responsibly.

Chapter 05 — Choose Your Water

Two adventures, one island

Both trips are small-group, beginner-friendly, and led by Rambo himself.
