West Coast Arizona at a Glance
The western area of Arizona has
been designated as a coast due to the Colorado
River, which is responsible for much of Arizona's western border with Nevada
and California. Visitors to
West Coast Arizona enjoy the activities and amenities of Lake
Havasu City, a center known for the London
Bridge that spans the Bridgewater Channel from the mainland to an island in
the Colorado River. This bridge once crossed the Thames in England,
and was dismantled and rebuilt in Lake Havasu City in 1971, spawning an English
Village at the foot of the bridge that offers attractions and shops with a distinct
British style. Bullhead City
is also located on Arizona's West Coast, and is the site of the annual Hardyville
Days, a community celebration that features live entertainment, a petting
zoo and more. Yuma is another West
Arizona town, and is a popular destination for RV enthusiasts looking to escape
the cold of a northern winter.
