Beaches of Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe has absolutely fantabulous beaches. Here is a list with some information about the high and low points of all the major ones. Before heading to any beach on a busy summer afternoon, you should have a parking plan, or better yet, an alternative form of transportation. In any case, you should expect to pay for parking at most of the nicer Tahoe area beaches. Also check out this Tahoe Beaches Map. On the South Shore, one season pass from the forest service gives access to Pope, Baldwin, and Nevada Beaches (camping not included). You may also want to check out our Kiteboarding page, which really still hasn't found a proper home of its own.

Round Hill Pines Beach - Lots of amenities at this Nevada side beach.
Sand Harbor - Perhaps Tahoe's finest beach.
Skunk Harbor - Tucked away on Nevada's east shore.
Lester Beach at D.L. Bliss - Sheltered cove on the west shore.
Angora Lakes - Lots of amenities at this 'hike to' alpine gem.
Lakeside Beach and Marina - Members only beach serving some Stateline area hotels and resorts.

Kiva Beach - Where Taylor Creek meets Lake Tahoe.
Baldwin Beach - The last stop before the west shore.

Planning a barbecue? Make sure you check our beaches forum to see if the forest Service has any restrictions in place (yes, even grills). Also, locals know the best ribs, steaks, and service are at Overland Meat Company. Find out for yourself.
