[edit] Divide list even further

I think that this list should be subdivided into separate state pages. This page is long, and would be easier to read if it were divided by state. Just my two cents, anybody else want to chime in? --No1lakersfan 00:12, 3 June 2006 (UTC) No one's going to read a list of towns that could have beaches in them.--Loodog 05:44, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] unusable

This article is unusable and of no value. It has about 15 beaches, with all links to blank pages, between far more towns and cities, which are listed regardless of whether they have any beach or coastline at all. The state of Vermont, which has no oceanfront, is here. This reads like a list of cities and towns in New England more than of beaches.

I agree that this article is very weak. However, Vermont does have beaches (on Lake Champlain). I wouldn't say they are great beaches, but they're there nonetheless.--Caliga10 11:31, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Why list cities like Andover, Connecticut in an article titles "list of beaches in New England"? They have no beaches. Their articles have no beaches listed. If someone could trim this list down to useful size (only communities with actual beaches, or even communities that MENTION beaches on their articles), it just might cease to be useless.--Loodog 03:16, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Since some people clearly think this article is worth saving, I've begun the process of making it useful. I have deleted all cities/towns in Rhode Island that simply could not have beaches based on location alone. Also added a few beaches. If this can be done for all the states, we just might have an article of some value.--Loodog 01:00, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Seriously a useless article currently. WildlifeAnalysis 13:04, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Fucking useless. Nominate it for deletion.--Loodog 04:06, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
I see that nobody has taken this to AfD as of yet. I think the list is kind of silly as it is too. However I do think that with research it can be improved. Just a quick glance at the list of towns and I see several that have beaches that aren't listed. I'm going to erase all the towns without current beach listings for now and then I'm going to come back and add in listings as I research them. —Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 15:30, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Better

There are actually beaches on here now. This article has some use. Keep up the good work. Also, try to get some sources on the page if you can.--Loodog 17:01, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Map

This article would greatly benefit from maps, say, one for each state, with beach locations indicated. Anyone wants to get a start on this, go ahead.--Loodog 17:33, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Links

It's slightly absurd that we have redlinks for almost every beach listed. Let's face it: an article on Nauset Light Beach might be OK, but individual articles on Nauset Light Beach 1, Nauset Light Beach 2, and Nauset Light Beach 3 just aren't going to happen. Do we agree on the need to cut down on some links? Biruitorul 04:40, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
