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.

In the heart of Tahoe City Commons Beach is a step away from the town’s shops and restaurants.  The beach is located next to the fire station and offers a spectacular view, a sandy shallow beach, a grassy area, BBQs, restrooms, a great playground for the little ones, and hosts the Farmer’s Market during the summer months.
