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.
Mark your calendars! Here’s a lineup of exciting themed float drops happening throughout the year. Each drop celebrates unique events and occasions along the Oregon Coast:
Note: All float drop dates are subject to change based on King Tides or unsafe weather conditions.
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.
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.
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.
