Lakeside Beach

Lakeside Beach is a private shoreline along Lake Tahoe featuring soft sand and a gently sloping entry into the water, backed by forested mountains that create a natural frame around the beach. The property includes shaded picnic areas, designated swimming zones, and wooden docks for easy water access.

The beach was established as part of the Lakeside Park in 1909, making it one of the first developed shoreline properties on the south side of Lake Tahoe. This early development shaped how the area grew and attracted visitors seeking lakeside recreation.

The beach serves as a central gathering point for community events, with designated areas for celebrations, family reunions, and outdoor social functions.

The beach experiences its most pleasant conditions during the summer months when water temperatures are warmest and the weather is most stable. Arriving early in the day helps secure good parking and find quieter spots along the shoreline.

The property maintains a deliberately restricted daily visitor limit that keeps crowds manageable and preserves the peaceful character of the shoreline. This controlled access ensures that even on busy days, the beach never feels crowded or overrun.
