There are so many unique places to stay in Arkansas. However, if it’s a tropical-themed escape you’re after, you’ve got to book a stay at The Shanty. Boasting its own sandy beach, laidback accommodations, and lots of opportunities for water-related fun, it’s one of the best secret getaways in Arkansas.

There aren’t any oceans in Arkansas, but you don’t have to leave the state for a beach getaway. Instead, simply head to The Shanty in Pocahontas.

And with a rope swing, bench swing, hammock, and fire pit, the cabin’s outdoor space is just as amazing.

The best thing about The Shanty, though, is the easy access it provides to the Eleven Point River, which is great for fishing, swimming, boating, and floating.

But The Shanty isn’t just located on the river’s banks. It’s operated by Trukees Canoe Rental, which means guests can enjoy customized floats that end right below the cabin.
