beach parks
Coastal public spaces
Beach parks are public recreational areas along shorelines that combine beach access with park amenities—picnic tables, restrooms, playgrounds, and often lifeguard services.
They differ from undeveloped beaches by offering facilities and from inland parks by providing swimming and water activities: We spent the afternoon at the beach park grilling burgers and building sandcastles.
