Beaches
Highlights
Beaches are a place to play, watch wildlife, fish, and swim. Since beaches give us so much, we have to protect them from a variety of potential problems. EPA can help you plan a safe trip to the beach, learn about issues that affect beaches, and understand how we protect beaches.
