Lake Tahoe Beach

Lake Tahoe is the second deepest lake in the U.S. and has over 70 miles of shoreline. Most of the Tahoe shoreline is either granite boulders and cliffs, but the lake does have many great public beaches for swimming, picnics, BBQs or just lying around in the sun. Some of the beaches have parking fees associated with them and most don't allow dogs, so please check the websites when available.
