Chimney Beach, Beach on Lake Tahoe, Nevada.

Chimney Beach is a sandy beach on the eastern shore of Lake Tahoe in Nevada, lined with large granite boulders and clear water backed by mountains. The shoreline features several coves surrounded by natural rock formations where visitors can explore different sections.

The chimney on the shoreline is the remains of an old cabin that once stood there; the cabin is gone and only the chimney is left. The beach and the trailhead take their name from it. The parking area sits at the south edge of Lake Tahoe–Nevada State Park on Nevada State Route 28.

The name comes from the lone chimney on the shoreline, the surviving part of an old cabin that once stood there. The Chimney Beach Trail starts at the Secret Harbor parking lot on Nevada State Route 28 and runs 0.5 miles (0.80 km) down to the beach, then links to mountain trails just south of Marlette Lake.

The trailhead is the Secret Harbor parking lot on the south edge of Lake Tahoe–Nevada State Park, off Nevada State Route 28. The Chimney Beach Trail runs 0.5 miles (0.8 km) down to the shore. From the beach the path links to mountain trails just south of Marlette Lake, near the mouth of Marlette Creek.

The beach takes its name from the stone chimney that stands there, the only visible trace of a vanished structure from decades past. This solitary chimney has become an unexpected landmark that visitors often seek out to photograph.
