The Sixth Annual Cayucos Sea Glass Festival took over the Vet’s Hall March 12-13 bringing an impressive variety of art pieces and jewelry, all made using ‘Mermaid Tears’ picked from beaches across the globe and bringing sea glass lovers from all over. Sea glass is just what it sounds like — glass and ceramic shards smoothed and shaped by decades of wave action. It is used in a vast variety of ways by creative artisans and the Cayucos festival has grown tremendously in just a few years. Now offering a beer and wine gardens, catered foods and live music, the festival has become an annual happening in ‘The Town That Time Forgot.’ Photos by Neil Farrell
