When you’re wishing for a beach vacation, you might think of California’s sunny coast, or the beautiful beaches in Hawaii, but you don’t need to take a plane to find a pretty beach – there are a few right here in Utah! There’s one gorgeous lake in the Beehive State that features a pretty beach that rivals those on the coast. Check out Cemetery Point Beach:
Pineview Reservoir was created in 1937 when a dam was built on the Ogden River. The reservoir is nestled in the Ogden Valley at an elevation of around 5,000 feet, so it’s a nice, cool spot to spend a sunny Utah day.

Pineview has three public beaches, and our favorite is Cemetery Point Beach in Huntsville.
Visitors to this beach will pay $18 for access, but the fee is well worth it. The beach offers parking, restrooms, and pavilions, and the money generated at the toll booth helps maintain the area.

On a hot, summer day you’ll want to bring an awning or shelter for a little bit of shade. Set up your beach chairs and cooler, then relax on the sand and enjoy the fresh air.

You’ll enjoy beautiful views of the water and the lush, green hills that surround the reservoir.

Cemetery Point Beach is a perfect spot of kayaking or paddleboarding, and ClubRec offers rentals so you don’t have to lug your own kayak to the lake. Make sure to slather on the sunscreen, then get out there on the lake for some fun!

There’s plenty of soft sand here, and your kids will have a blast digging and creating sand castles.

On weekends, Cemetery Point Beach can get very crowded. Arrive early to set up your spot, or try to visit on a weekday when the crowds are much smaller.

The beach is open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Please make sure to pack out everything you pack in, and keep this beach nice for everyone.
