Hang out at PWC Beach in Lake Mead National Recreation Area
Rated 4.0/5
based on 1 customer reviews
Added by Natalie F
Less than an hour from Vegas, this national recreation area has a ton to offer.
This man-made lake on the Colorado River is underrated in my opinion. It has everything an outdoor enthusiast could want from scuba diving, hiking, horseback riding, all kinds of water sports, and plenty of camping options.
This beach is near Boulder City. Use the Boulder City Entrance, go north on Lakeshore Road for 2 miles. Turn right and follow the signs to the lake.
- watercrafts and pets allowed
