The following is list of beaches in the U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories.
Beaches occur both on the ocean shoreline and inland on lakes, rivers, etc. This list is organized by major coastline. States with large numbers of beaches are listed on linked subarticles.
The District of Columbia does not currently have a true beach; several areas (such as Georgetown Waterfront Park) have boundaries along the Potomac River, but lack a true beach. From 1914 to 1925, there was a beach at the District of Columbia’s Tidal Basin.[1]
