Arizona has thousands of lakes with small, secluded sandy coves while the entire stretch along the Colorado River between the two dams is one long beach Riviera. Arizona beaches are mostly small, and many can only be accessed by boat, but they often offer a sense of privacy and seclusion rarely found on the sea coast. Most are part of urban parks like Gateway Park in Yuma or state parks like Buckskin Mountain Park or Cattail Cove State Park, offering a range of amenities for the whole family.
