Fodor's Expert Review Lake Tahoe–Nevada State Park and Sand Harbor Beach

Incline Village Beach

Protecting much of the lake's eastern shore from development, this park comprises several sections that stretch from Incline Village to Zephyr Cove. Beaches and trails provide access to a wilder side of the lake, whether you're into cross-country skiing, hiking, or just relaxing at a picnic. With a gently sloping beach for lounging, crystal-clear water for swimming and snorkeling, and a picnic area shaded by cedars and pines, Sand Harbor Beach sometimes reaches capacity by 11 am on summer weekends. A handicap-accessible nature trail has interpretive signs and beautiful lake views. Pets are not allowed on the beach from mid-April through mid-October. Amenities: food and drink; parking ($10, $15 for non-NV license plates); toilets; water sports. Best for: boating; snorkeling; sunset; swimming; walking.
