1 published guide in this county. Use the named arrival information first; facility evidence is too limited for a feature-based recommendation. Feature counts describe documented routes, not all beaches or every entrance in the county.
Start with the named arrivals in these guides; route-specific features are still being verified. Counts refer to beaches with a qualifying named entrance, not every entrance. These are planning details, not current opening or guard duty.

Arrowhead Beach Association Park
An association-controlled sandy Chowan River swimming shore with toilets/showers, grills, courts, playground and clubhouse/pier. Property-owner members in good standing and their authorized hosted guests use gate fobs; no ordinary public walk-in right.
Access and evidence scope
Arrowhead Beach Association Park has a sandy river swimming shore. Eligible members and their hosted guests must use the association fob; the guide does not grant general public admission.
Read each guide for exact eligibility, parking, facilities and route limitations. An accessible park facility does not establish a continuous route into the water. Boat launches and inland millponds are separate references.
Conditions and research scope
The October 11, 2026 desk review covers all 45 required guide categories. It is not an exhaustive shoreline survey, an on-site inspection or a same-day safety check. Remaining field and scenic-photo questions stay individually tracked.
Eastern Time applies. Water samples, regional forecasts, tides and observed warning flags retain separate locations and clocks. Underwater clarity, shore snorkeling, offshore excursions, full nudity, clothing-optional use and female-topless sunbathing are independently assessed. Unverified permissions do not become positive filter matches.
The mapped point is a reviewed shore planning reference, not a surveyed entrance or navigation waypoint. A pending scenic photograph is not replaced with another beach.
