Yorktown Beach, Public beach in York County, United States
The two-acre sandy beach stretches along the York River, providing views of passing ships and the Chesapeake Bay waters.
The beach sits near the location of the decisive 1781 Battle of Yorktown, where American and French forces secured independence from British rule.
Local musicians perform acoustic concerts near the beach during summer evenings, connecting the community through outdoor entertainment programs.
The beach features a wheelchair-accessible Mobi-Mat pathway to the water, free-to-use fishing pier, and multiple picnic areas along the shore.
The National Park Service maintains specific sections of the beach where visitors can witness both commercial vessels and military ships crossing the York River.
