During our recent mini-vacay to the Branson, Missouri area we were looking for outdoor stuff away from people and the standard Branson faire such as shows and shopping. We did kayaking, swimming, and walking. We found a beautiful little beach area on Table Rock Lake called Moonshine Beach.
It’s a Corps of Engineers facility that has clean restrooms, a sizeable roped off swimming area, and a beautiful sand beach. It also has a boat launching area separate from the swimming area. It also has a geocache for those who are interested. (Yes, of course I found it). Check out the Corps Website for all the details.
There is a $5 fee per car access fee, or the take Federal passes that some of us old retired guys have. It’s well worth it. The grounds are clean and picked up and the bathrooms are immaculate. We went on a weekday and there was enough people there to provide a good vibe but one could definitely socially distance at least 50 feet from people. Alcohol is not allowed which contributes to the vibe. It’s open until 8 pm. At 7:30 a very polite Park Ranger showed up and reminded us of the 8 pm closure.
And on top of all this, you get great views of the lake especially as the sun was going down.
I am linking with Skywatch Friday, come check it out.
I’ve never been to Branson but everything I’ve heard about it sounds like loads of people. As always, I like all your photos. Looks like a wonderful area.
Wow ! Moonshine Beach looks very idyllic and great photos too ~ So glad you found this place. Xo

Branson – beautiful! – always wanted to go there, but never did. (we both went to college in Springfield, Missouri)
Pretty scenes! You caught some great light.
Looks like a beautiful place to have a mini vacation!
Greetings and Salutations! Of course, you found the geocache area. Nice mini vacation.
Looks like the perfect runaway place.
