I would recommend shifting the pin slightly towards the south. Right at the current location on the Utah side, you can access the water, but the shoreline is rocky and the water appears muddy due to numerous plants. However, as you head further south, beyond the double pier and into Arizona, the beach becomes sandier and the water becomes much clearer. Additionally, the nearest parking lot is exclusively for boat trailers, so you'll need to park and walk approximately half a mile, which isn't too inconvenient.

The beach was absolutely stunning, although it was a bit challenging to locate at first. However, the helpful workers guided me in the right direction. The sand was scorching hot, so it's advisable to wear shoes.

No one bothers to inform you, after paying the entrance fee and nearly $200 for a two-night stay, that the beach is actually closed. And it's not just a temporary closure, but a permanent one indicated by the permanent signs. It would have been considerate to give a prior warning, as this unexpected situation completely ruined our two nights of vacation. We would have definitely chosen a different place to stay!

The beach has the potential to be an excellent place for swimming! However, the water levels were exceptionally low, making it impossible to swim. Instead of having a beach area, there is simply a sharp decline leading to the water. It's quite disheartening to witness its current low state.

The view is incredibly serene and stunning! The restrooms are not available during the winter months. The parking area is spacious enough. There is a short hike to reach the beach. The river is exceptionally clean and the beach is well taken care of. There are also fantastic views in the vicinity. If you're in the area, make sure to visit and see for yourself - you'll definitely enjoy it!
