First of all, we should make something clear. Golden Shores and Topock are the same place. It is called Topock account the Post Office is "Topock" and it would take an act of Congress ( literally) to change the name to Golden Shores. So, we go by either name.
Golden Shores (Topock) is in Western Arizona . It is in Mohave County. The
town is located near the Colorado River and Interstate 40, halfway between Lake
Havasu City and Bullhead City/Laughlin, Nevada on County Highway 277.
Overview:
Topock is an attractive town to retirees, businesses and families. The terrific
outdoor activities located nearby and the great climate make it the perfect
place to visit. It is believed that the name Topock came from the Mohave Indian
word for “water crossing” or “bridge.” Topock sits at an elevation of 505 feet.
The warm desert climate has a winter low temperature of 40 degrees and summer
