America’s coastline views vary from sparkling white beaches to bluffs battered by dramatic, crashing waves, with quiet coves, limestone cliffs and ancient forests along the way. Some of the best coastal walks take in long stretches of varied scenery, while others follow trails in seaside parks or simply take a pleasant meander by the sand. According to the NOAA, the US has a total of 95,471 miles (153,652km) of shoreline. We’ve made narrowing it down a little easier by rounding up some of the best parts to explore on foot.
