Anderson Beach is a rocky strip of land running along a length of Indian Creek in the southwest Missouri town of Anderson.

Accessed by a short road that quickly turns to rocks, the beach area is popular for families looking to get some wading into, those fishing the creek, or visitors who pull up and grill near the water. As only high clearance and 4WD vehicles can drive across the rocks, those with smaller cars may opt to park near the access road and walk to their spot.

Anderson Beach isn't extremely scenic, but as a centrally located access point to water, you'll often see others hanging out at the beach area.

There are no bathrooms, no trash cans, and no drinking water available. No lifeguards are present at Anderson Beach.
