It was quite a relief to find the answer to a question about which beaches had public restrooms nearby.
We probably missed a few in the list we compiled below, so if you know of any not here, be sure to post a comment.
The list includes both full restroom facilities as well as portable toilets.
We’re not going to vouch for the condition of any of these, but a fair number we’ve been to have been relatively clean, in a public-restroom sort of way.

But isn’t the ocean the biggest public restroom of all?
