Zion Shores is a private surf community taking shape near Washington, Utah, just outside St. George and about an hour by car from Zion National Park. It is one of the first residential developments in the US built around its own wave: a 9-acre lagoon combining American Wave Machines' PerfectSwell Zion, billed as the largest PerfectSwell yet, with a UNIT Dynamic Wave and a UNIT Standing Wave.
The plan calls for 65 residences, 43 single-family waterfront homes and 22 townhomes, plus waterfront lots for custom builds, with lagoon access from the backyard. Pricing has climbed steeply as the community has sold down: early waterfront lots were marketed from about $800,000, and the current site plan lists the available lots at $1.69 million each, with the developer's latest materials pointing higher again for the remaining club-membership homes. Fewer than 30 of the 65 properties were listed as still available in mid-2026, and Zion Shores does not publish a public price list, so confirm current pricing directly with the sales team. Membership in the surf club comes with ownership. Beyond surfing, residents get a resort clubhouse, wellness facilities, and quick access to southern Utah's mountain biking, hiking, and off-road terrain. The project broke ground in July 2025 and began vertical construction that November; in May 2026 the founder told KUTV it was about halfway built and about 16 months from opening.
The community is anchored by a PerfectSwell + UNIT Surf Pool wave lagoon. It shares its surf with Zion Shores.
