On the tail of Oquirrh Lake is a little bit of home (if your home is the Hamptons or Nantucket), you'll find North Beach, complete with boats, piers, a lake, a sandy beach, ducks and seagulls, and smattering of kayaks, canoes, a rowboats for rent.
On one hand, access requires off-roading on a pile of rocks (rumored to be developed soon with amenities such as a new Harmon's). On the other, North Beach is just a skip and a jump (not even a hop away) from SODA row, thus centrally located in the SL Valley's primer and sprawling living community. The location is right off the boardwalk, a spot where the Food Truck events occur. So plenty of places to sit and a great place to see a sunset.
If you like ducks, you'll love the quacking. If you love creatures grabbing your food right out of your hand and flying away, you'll love all the seagulls.
The piers are newish and great to walk on, although I was surprised at the lack of guard railings to keep kids from plunging right into lake.
Yes, there is the sandy beach. Although manmade, you couldn't tell from the high quality sand that would make you think it was unearthed and hauled in from Baia do Sancho in Brazil.
A great little oasis and a worthwhile place to chill in Daybreak! read more
