Questions about this page

What are the best known beaches in North America?

Coney Island in United States leads the list. Coastal neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA.

Which country in North America has the most?

United States (189), Canada (18) and Curaçao (12). That ranks how much Wikidata records, not what exists on the ground.

How much of the world is that?

264 of the 1,652 beaches on this atlas, so 16%. The rest are on the worldwide page.

Where does this information come from?

Every place is drawn from Wikidata (CC0), with photographs from Wikimedia Commons and a link to its English Wikipedia article. Selection is deterministic: a place is here because Wikidata files it under one of the classes this atlas carries and it has coordinates, a photo and an article. Nothing is written or chosen by an AI, and the ranking is simply how many Wikipedia language editions cover a place.
