East Coast Beaches: Measuring Recreation, Value, and Coastal Economies

118 million trips. 226 million beach days. Those are the numbers that define East Coast beach recreation, and they are not guesses. They come from a comprehensive profile of 275 ocean beaches, built on 2014 household survey data from the 20 nearest states. This paper delivers a consistent, region-wide measure we simply did not have before. The per-trip values, ranging from $59 to $103, confirm what we already suspected: these shores are not just scenic, they are economic engines.
