National Park Beaches

Whether it’s the main attraction such as Acadia’s rocky coastline, or an added bonus like rafting down Grand Canyon’s Colorado River -- here are the best parks for beach lovers.

Go for the majestic view of the Golden Gate Bridge, stay for the people watching. Surfers, dog walkers, fishermen and moms with jogging strollers are all drawn to the beach at former airfield Crissy Field.
