 * Keep. State beaches are government operated recreational facilities, like public parks.  They are almost guaranteed to be verifiable in official publications.  And like villages and other geographic names that have always been considered inherently notable, they should be.  There may be some degree of granularity beyond which it might be undesirable to pass - small municipal playgrounds, for instance, may not make the cut.  A state-run park doesn't require any decision as to where that line might run, though. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:37, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
