During the holiday and due to the COVID-19 pandemic certain regulations and recommendations will be in place for Balboa Beach for the upcoming festivities on July 3rd and 4th. These are suggestions that have been made using the Arkansas Department of Health direction of use of social distancing to decrease the chance of spread of COVID-19.
Because of the sale of property located on Cortez Peninsula (also known as Cortez Beach) residents will no longer be able to access this area. In the past, Hot Springs Village has been able to keep this area under the insurance policy that covers the Village, but this is no longer the case. Residents should refrain from using this area for water recreation and use the beaches at Lake DeSota and Balboa along with the new outdoor pool for these activities.
