The Great Basin does not have tropical beaches, as it is an arid region characterized by deserts, mountains, and endorheic basins.

The Great Basin is a vast arid region in the western United States, known for its unique geography and lack of drainage to the ocean. Natural features include rivers, such as the Humboldt River, ancient volcanic formations, and remnants of glaciers at higher elevations. However, tropical beaches are entirely absent, as the region is landlocked, with a dry climate and no access to tropical coastal environments. Its landscape consists mainly of deserts, salt flats, and rugged mountains, shaped by tectonic activity and erosion over millions of years.
