  • This is a great place to walk and enjoy the beach with family. Nice walkway and parking close by. For easy access.

  • Perfect spot for a picnic and relaxing by the waters of Lake Tahoe. The park has many tables and lots of shades and the beach is located a few steps away. Parking is free but limited. A couple of nearby restrooms are available. It's more of a park with a lake view.
  • Water wasn’t as clear as we expected though not too many people. It was very shallow though only up-to waist height even of you go far in the lake. Finding parking was a bit challenging. There are kayaks available to rent at the beach.
  • This beach is no charge and can get busy. Go during sunset or sunrise and it's just what you want. There are some larger steps getting down to the beach if you're bringing along kiddos or have issues getting up and down you make experience some challenges but I assure you -- well worth the trip. When the waves hit the shore, it's so soothing for the soul.
  • Nice beach in south Lake Tahoe. Free public parking across the street and facilities. I walked along the bike path a bit for a crisp winter walk. Pretty views of the lake and crystal clear water.
  • Nice beach and beautiful view of mountains. No car parking charges and beach entry fee.
