Beehive Beach Access

Beehive Beach Access is a free, dispersed shoreline camping and day-use area on the Sacramento River Arm of Shasta Lake with no designated sites—visitors choose their own spots along the water.

Portable restrooms and trash receptacles are provided seasonally (typically May-September), and a boat ramp is located approximately 1 mile away at Sugarloaf.

The area is popular for water sports including paddling, boating, and water skiing, though visitors should be aware of potential hazards like broken glass, poison oak, and seasonal bee activity, and are required to pack out all trash.
