If it’s just the best paddle boarding location in St. George that you’re after, then Gunlock is one of our favorite spots. It doesn’t have the beaches, or the vast view that Sand Hollow has, but since it’s less popular with boaters the water is much calmer.

It has some great places to go exploring across from the dock, with some coves, and rocks you can go cliff jumping off. When the sun starts to go down the red mountain to the east lights on fire for about 20 minutes which provides some spectacular views.
