Secret Cove Beach

Reviewed By CoachDaddy85 - Ocean City, United States

Fairly easy hike from road parking. Alternative parking in chimney cove - easy walk from there along access road then a well defined path to the cove. People were discreet and cool. Will return.

Sand Harbor

Rocky coves and boulders to jump off of are the primary features of this beach.

Reviewed By RevfromCA - Sacramento, United States

This is a beautiful state park well worth the $10 entrance fee along the east shoreline of Lake Tahoe. You can use the entrance fee the same day to visit Cave Rock state park as well which is closer to South Lake Tahoe. The walking paths along the shore of Sand Harbor are very nice and the scenery is excellent. Check out the visitors center as well.

Wide sandy beach, which offers escape from the bustle of other beaches.

Reviewed By VacationsRWanderful

This is a family and dog friendly beach. It’s near the campground and at the end of an easy 1 mile walk through Rabe Meadows. Parking is $10 per car, with limited space. If you choose to park in the lot, get there early.

Pope Beach

Wide sandy beach, popular with families.

Reviewed By DIRECTORACE

Best Beach in Lake Tahoe just off hwy 89 before camp Richardson. Go early otherwise you will not get in or have to wait in a long lines of cars. 8.00 entrance fee but worth it for upkeep of this beautiful area. Staff are wonderful people who make this run smoothly every day. Long sandy beach with plenty of shade if needed. Picnic tables and rentals of kayaks, paddle boards, etc. usually a food truck in parking lot as well. Plenty of bathrooms and clean shoreline with exceptionally clear waters. Great for small children and families. Sorry no pets allowed at this beach, you can take them to Baldwin beach further down road if needed.

Meeks Bay Beach

Includes public and private resort beaches, which are both well-kept.

Reviewed By JLR_005

Meeks Bay is a beautiful beach with equally stunning views of Lake Tahoe. The white sand and cove makes it unique. It's packed in the summer months though. Fall is the best time to avoid crowds and enjoy the peace and quiet of this historic site on the stunning West Shore.
