Pope Beach

Pope Beach extends for three-quarters of a mile along Lake Tahoe, offering a sandy shoreline surrounded by tall pine trees and mountain views.

Since the early 1900s, Pope Beach has served as a recreational destination for Lake Tahoe visitors, maintaining its status as a public access point.

The beach operates under the management of California Land Management through a special permit with the USDA Forest Service, preserving natural resources.

Visitors can access various amenities including kayak rentals, food concessions, picnic tables, and restroom facilities from Memorial Day through mid-October.

The protected Tahoe yellow cress plant grows naturally on this beach, requiring specific conservation measures to preserve its native habitat.
