49. Arizona: Lake Havasu State Park Beach
Widely known as Arizona’s “West Coast,” Lake Havasu is a massive reservoir on the Colorado River that provides a striking visual contrast: bright white sandy beaches and crystal-clear blue water set directly against stark, red desert mountains. The beach is an absolute hotspot for high-energy recreation, heavily favored by jet-skiers, speedboaters, and paddleboarders. Visitors can lounge on the warm sand, swim in the refreshing water, and even take a short boat ride down to view the relocated, historic London Bridge.
