Visitors flock to Lake Tahoe for winter skiing; however, astute travelers recognize the North Lake Tahoe as a superb venue for California beach activities. We were entranced with all the options: sandy beaches, hiking, sailing, power boating, mountain biking, and kayaking. Dive into the Lake Tahoe’s Visitor’s Bureau Website. There’s an incredible array of beautiful on-site pictures, links for community resources, Lake Tahoe lodging and dining choices, as well as an excellent overview of Lake Tahoe beach action choices.
We enjoyed Sand Harbor State Park along the eastern shore. There’s a long, sloping sandy beaches for families. Pristine waters and rocky coves offer great scuba and snorkeling. After a short, scenic hike along Sand Point Nature Trail, we enjoyed a picnic at the fully equipped, covered area. Reservations are a must. For fishing, diving, and boating, we recommend Cave Rock State Park. Travel Guides list the diving as “spectacular and well worth the small entry fee.” Dive Flags are required at Cave Rock.
