Collecting beach glass is fun to do at the shore

I collect sea glass. I have collected some from New Suffolk in Southold and Orient beaches.
I started when my dad and I were walking on one New Suffolk beach and we found a really big piece of beach glass that was about the size of half a bottle. We took it home, and this started our tradition. I continued to find beach glass at Orient Beach near where I live. Now I have so much, I keep it in a box at my house. I have been collecting it for two years.
My favorite ones are blue. They are super-pretty. But if I find other colors, such as green, brown and yellow sea glass, I pick that up, too.
