For a state that doesn’t sit along the ocean, Pennsylvania sure does have a lot of sandy beaches. While the smattering of sandy beaches at Presque Isle State Park in Erie may be the most well-known, we can find countless hidden gem beaches all through the state. Tatman Run Beach, for example, a sandy beach in Entriken, Pennsylvania, may not be quite as well-known as others, but it’s more than worth a visit.

Nestled in a cove off of Raystown Lake, Tatman Run Beach offers an idyllic setting for a day of soaking up the sun and swimming in the cool lake water.

Tatman Run Beach is open seasonally from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Hours are from dawn to dusk.
Although it’s rather small, the sandy beach promises plenty to do. Bring your beach towel or beach chair and umbrella and claim your spot on the sandy shore.

There’s also plenty of room on the grassy area behind the thin strip of sand to drop your towel or chair.
Swimmers of all ages are welcome to borrow a lifejacket from the Lifejacket Loaner Station. Lifejackets are free but must be returned when you are finished with them.
