This is a smaller but more intimate beach. It's not as big or crowded as the other popular beaches. It feels like your own private beach.

Nice little beach in the middle of Tahoe City. We like to have lunch at one of the many restaurants in Tahoe City and then cross the street to relax at the beach. They have a nice playground for little ones who need to burn off some energy.

This is where the locals go for skiing as it's smaller and cheaper than the big resorts. It's nice not having to trudge through a huge village and take a shuttle back just to get to your car. The price of a lift ticket is very reasonable especially compared to the bigger resorts. The views of the lake, the intimacy of the resort and the great staff makes this a favorite. Food isn't great, so considering bringing your own.
