Moon Shine Beach
Branson, Missouri
Swim
Moon Shine Beach is a spacious sandy beach with swimming access on Table Rock Lake. This beautiful beach gives visitors a view of the large clear lake, with surrounding forest of hickory trees. The sunrises and sunsets are especially beautiful from this beach.
This beach can make visitors feel like they are spending a day on the ocean, even though they are far inland. The beach is often crowded, and has many amenities available, including a playground, volleyball right on the sand, restrooms and other conveniences. Though more crowded than other areas at Table Rock Lake, Moon Shine Beach has the advantage of easy sloped water access and lots of space to spread out with chairs and picnic blankets.
Moonshine Beach has several parking lots and picnic tables available, as well as a pavilion available for reservation. The pavilion has water and electricity available, and can accommodate up to 75 people.
