Gently sloping beaches, crystal-clear water and interesting rock formations allow for wonderful swimming and scuba diving. Beach Patrol is on duty from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Located in the shade of the cedars and Jeffrey pines, the picnic area offers a peaceful retreat from the busy beaches. Each site is equipped with a barbecue and picnic table. Paved walkways make the area accessible to persons with disabilities.
Such a beautiful place! Came in the beginning of October, water was cold but you can still swim maybe it's better to come during the summer for sure. Kayaking it's a little expensive and you have to pay for parking entrance on top of that $12 if you're out of state, $10 nv state. Amazing amazing place. Coming back for sure! Next time though will bring my own kayak. ;)
Dogs are not allowed.
Found in Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park, Sand Harbor is one of the state’s most popular beaches. Water sports enthusiasts love the area, though Divers Cove is particularly a favorite of SCUBA divers. The stunning water of Lake Tahoe also makes for excellent swimming, kayaking, and fishing as well.
We think a visit here is one of the best things to do in Nevada!
