Can Guests Use Lake Arrowhead Beach Clubs?
Buyers ask this because beach-club access sounds like a simple extension of lake access, but the official ALA structure is more specific. Guest use of Tavern Bay and Burnt Mill depends on the right membership path, not on broad public or generic guest assumptions.
What the Access Structure Looks Like
Beach-club access sits on top of the broader ALA membership structure. That makes it more specific than generic lake-rights language and more limited than many buyers expect.
Membership-Tier Driven
ALA's beach-club materials distinguish Beach Club and Dock/Slip Right access from general membership.
Guest Access Exists
Beach Club and Dock/Slip Right cards admit the member plus up to five guests per card under the current official materials.
Not General-Member Access
Current ALA materials say general membership cards do not admit members or unaccompanied guests to the beach clubs.
Buyer Relevance
This matters because beach-club use can affect how buyers value repeat personal use, family use, and guest appeal.
What the Official Sources Support
As of April 24, 2026, the official ALA beach-club membership page says only Beach Club Members and Dock Members may enjoy the beach clubs. It also says each Beach Club member receives two membership cards, and each card allows access to one member and five guests.
The same official materials say general membership cards do not admit members or unaccompanied guests to beach clubs, and that general members are eligible to upgrade to a Beach Club Membership.
That makes the practical takeaway straightforward. Guest beach-club access is real, but it is tied to the correct ALA membership tier and current ALA rules rather than to broad lake-rights marketing language.

Keep Going From the Beach-Club Question
Once the beach-club access rules are clear, buyers usually want to compare them against broader guest lake access, private-lake structure, or one specific STR scenario.

Can guests use Lake Arrowhead beach clubs?
Current official ALA beach-club materials say Beach Club and Dock/Slip Right membership cards admit the member and up to five guests per card. Guest access is therefore tied to the qualifying membership structure, not to general public admission.
Can general members use the beach clubs?
Current official ALA beach-club membership materials say general membership cards do not admit members or unaccompanied guests to the beach clubs. General members are instead eligible to upgrade to a Beach Club Membership.
Why does this matter for buyers and STR analysis?
Because buyers often hear broad lake-access language and assume it covers every amenity the same way. Beach-club access is a narrower membership question that can materially affect how a property is positioned for personal use or guest appeal.
Next Step
Trying to sort out beach-club access before underwriting lifestyle value?
That question matters because beach-club usability sits on a narrower membership tier than generic lake-rights language and can change how a buyer values repeat use.
