Glowing Sea feels... empty....
I have Fallout 4 on Playstation, and figured I'd share my ideas here. By far, my favorite area in the Commonwealth is the Glowing Sea. Its such a hauntingly beautiful locale. When I looked off in the distance from the Freeway and saw the jagged crater off in the distance surrounded by desolate building remains and broken trees, lakes of Radioactive waste dotting the surface, I instantly feel in love with the area. Thats why I was rather diaspointed when I got to exploring it. Sure, the Sentinel site is pretty cool, to just see a giant stone pyramid come out of the green fog. And yeah, the Skylanes wreckage was pretty cool to find. And the underground bunker in the abandoned shack was... pretty cool.
Look, I know an Atomic Bomb went off and the entire area was practically burried in debris, but they could have added a couple more locations. The buried Super Duper mart was the perfect place to put a bunch of weapons, food, and supplies. And to think: Just walking around the inside, rotten bodies everywhere. Maybe a hole in the ceiling with a bus hanging off the edge.
I just feel like theres more to be desired than a couple of small areas and little cave systems that lead to a toolbox. A Vault would be a PERFECT example here! Maybe add one in the side of the cliff before the forgotten Church, with the door blown off like in Vault 15. Then its just INFESTED with ghouls and such.
I just felt like there was more to be desired from this location. Such a promising and interesting place to put lore and such, Pre-War families living live until the moment the bomb went off.
I am happy with how it turned out, and it was pretty awesome to explore, just felt it was a little empty....

Pics, or we'll assume you're a pirate, in which case you'll be treated quite differently.
Or if you're a console user, that's one thing, but there's still a lack of proof.

They dropped a bomb on it. What did you expect to be left?

I do agree with OP seeing a decimated vault would have been cool. Something like "well ♥♥♥♥ maybe they aren't so great at stopping DIRECT impacts" ya know.

It's far lamer that on the eastern part of the map where you can clearly see a ship graveyard underwater earmarked for $DLC that it doesn't let you swim out to it. I've got screenshots when the game glitched and let me see perfectly underwater.

Its supposed to look empty and destroyed, a huge nuke fell on it. You expect a metropolis in the middle of ground zero?

It would make sense if it was a dumping ground for spent fuel rods from nuclear power plants or something. It doesn't really make any sense that it's there, but, cool.

There are Vault-Tec piping and debris in the sea, could be potential dlc.

There's at least 7 locations in the glowing sea I've found, so plenty to explore.

This is underwater glitched so you can see clearly. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=575190096

It's 210 years after the war, it's completely implausible

All I need to know about the glowing sea is FUC GLOWING STINGWING DARTERS. Deadliest thing in the game. That poison will drain you faster than a stripper who just invited you into the VIP room.

There are multiple locations in the Glowing Sea, sure, but most of them seem pretty small, like the random caves or the federal govt's favorite shack.

The Sentinel site might be the biggest one, and it's not terribly large.

(Granted, I didn't bother exploring the Church of Nope; it didn't seem particularly in-character to jump into a location with no obvious way out, despite metagaming awareness that Bethesda would not not have made it jumping down through the roof a guaranteed one-way game-ending trip.)

An underground tunnel system -- Boston's transit system would have extended there, right? Plus, sewer system -- would have been reasonable. Some of it caved in, some of it too toxic to wander in w/o a hazmat suit, some of it ghoul-infested. It wouldn't have simply been simply vaporized, however.
