When you think about a secluded island in Arkansas, you may not think that Arkansas comes to mind. In fact, The Natural State, as the name suggests, is known more for its hiking trails, waterfalls, forests, and mountain ranges. While these natural wonders are amazing, sometimes you yearn for sinking your feet on white sandy beaches. Therefore, many people flock to the Caribbean every year. But you don’t need to get on a plane to experience a tropical oasis. Just head to Norfork Lake because the white sandy beaches are like something from a dream.
Located near Mountain Home in the Ozarks is Norfork Lake, a beautiful oasis with 550 miles of un-commercialized shoreline.
Often referred to as the Caribbean of the Mid-South, Norfork Lake is home to one of the most pristine beaches in the state. And best of all, the beaches of this lake are only accessible by boat. This makes it a true island escape right here in Arkansas.
That beach is Sandy Beach, Jordan Island or Sand Island as it is often called.
With its crystal-clear turquoise waters, it’s the perfect place to spend a beach vacation without spending thousands of dollars.
You’ll enjoy swimming, kayaking, boating, and more.
Additionally, vacationers love to tube, jet ski, and wakeboard on the pristine lake.
Plus, you can rent all the fun water toys at the nearby marina.
If that’s not enough, this island paradise is known for fishing and scuba diving.
But what makes this secluded paradise extra special is that you can camp directly on the sandy shores, reserve a campsite, or stay in one of the waterfront resorts.
This means after you’ve enjoyed a day of water sports and recreation, you can pitch a tent, or get cozy by a campfire, roast marshmallows, and watch the sun go down.
This sounds like something from a dream, but you can make it a reality.
