Nevada Beach

Nevada Beach is a public shoreline along Lake Tahoe with roughly a mile of sandy area and pine forest behind it. The waterfront offers clear water and views of the surrounding mountains.

The site was developed in the 1960s by the US Forest Service to provide public access to this lake shoreline. The area was previously less accessible to visitors.

Visitors gather here to swim and relax by the water, and the beach culture reflects local awareness about protecting the surrounding natural environment.

The water can be cold even during warmer months, so a wetsuit is helpful for extended swimming. Free parking and picnic areas are available to make your stay more comfortable.

Rare plants grow along the shoreline, so certain areas are marked off and off-limits to visitors. These restrictions help protect a species that exists only in this location.
