    Sand Harbor Beach

    One of Lake Tahoe’s most popular beaches, Sand Harbor Beach is by far one of the best beaches in Lake Tahoe for its scenic nature and clear waters. This half-a-mile-long beach is one that features large white boulders, aquamarine water, and long sandy stretches that are perfect for a relaxing day in the sun. With how clear the water is, this is a great beach for kayaking(there are rentals at the beach), swimming, and scuba diving (at Divers Cove) – just be mindful of the large round boulders...

    Secret Cove & Chimney Beach

    Secret Cove and Chimney Beach are only about a half-mile from each other so I like visiting both of these together when I have the time. Plus the hike from one beach to the other is beautiful and mostly along the water. They’re also only about three miles south of Sand Harbor Beach, so they’re a good alternative if Sand Harbor is full or too crowded. Secret Cove has become not so secret in recent years so it’s often crowded during the middle of the day. And since it’s already a small beach, i...

    Where is the Clearest Water in Lake Tahoe?

    There are a lot of spots with crystal clear water in Lake Tahoe, but Emerald Bay, Secret Cove/Chimney Beach, and Lester Beach at D.L. Bliss State Park are my picks for the best beaches with the clearest water.

    Which Part of Lake Tahoe is the Most Beautiful?

    It’s a hard call and really depends on your preference. Do you like long sandy beaches or more rugged hidden escapes? I personally enjoy the West and North Lake Tahoe beaches the most due to their scenic nature and some more tucked away spots, but the South Lake Tahoe beaches can be great too.

    Is North Shore or South Shore Lake Tahoe Better?

As one of the best beaches on the lake, this area has everything you expect including a visitor center, picnic tables, trees and wide expanses of sunny sand, swimming areas (of course) and even a beach and cove dedicated to SCUBA divers.
    • Lester Beach- West Shore. Lester Beach is actually located in the D.L. Bliss State Park on the West Shore. This beautiful beach has a lagoon-like swimming area, restrooms with running water, and tons of sand and sun.
    • Baldwin Beach - South Lake Tahoe. Within kayaking distance of Emerald Bay, Baldwin Beach is one of the nicest on the South Shore and perfect for families granting easy access from the parking lot to the sand and Lake Tahoe.
    • Kiva Beach - South Lake Tahoe. If you want to bring your best friend to Lake Tahoe, check out the dog friendly Kiva Beach (near Baldwin Beach). Here dogs can swim off-leash, but they need to be leashed on the beach.
