Beaches in South Lake Tahoe
Beaches from Emerald Bay East to Cave Rock
Emerald Bay (Nine miles northwest from the Y in South Lake Tahoe)
This beautiful spot sits within the Emerald Bay State Park, a turquoise bay that is framed by granite peaks. The beach is a good mile walk from the parking lot. The trail descends 500 feet in elevation but the views are worth the effort. Sitting in front of the Vikingsholm Castle, a replica of a Scandinavian castle, the sandy beach is a great place for a picnic. Trails follow the beach in both directions and offer miles of great hiking.
