Alexandria independent city waterfront references

Fourteen waterfront references include eleven names retained from an older water-access inventory and three separately reviewed City places. Historical facility flags and coordinates are not current operating information.

Use the named authority source for the exact place and activity. A park, trail, wharf or boat launch does not establish a beach arrival, swimming permission or continuous public shoreline route.

Eleven names are retained from the historical Virginia DCR WaterAccess inventory archived October 12, 2026. That archive date is a retrieval date, not an observation or current-opening date. These are historical source observations, not eleven current entrances or automatically merged identities. The three additional Windmill Hill, Rivergate and Shipyard references retain their separate current authority scopes. Original DCR WaterAccess source layer

Use the linked managing authority for the precise route, permitted activity and current notices. These references are separate from published beach guides.
