5 Lake Tahoe Cruises You Need To Book Right Now

The best advice we could ever give you—book the boat tour. Seriously, we’ve done it all and we’re here to tell you that a summer day on one of these epic Lake Tahoe cruises is simply unmatched.

The beach days, the backcountry hikes, the kayak excursions; they’re epic. But there’s just something about a boat ride that can’t be touched. You’ll get it when you’re gliding into Emerald Bay, sipping a chilled IPA on a sunset cruise or anchored in crystal clear waters at your own private cove.

That’s when you’ll pour one out for the good folks at Epic Lake Tahoe that convinced you, “I need that Lake Tahoe boat tour.” Now you just have to choose which one.

Sip wine on a sunset sail to Emerald Bay.

Wine and sunsets. There’s just something about the combo that works, and trust us, it only gets better when paired with a calm Emerald Bay. Although there’s no shortage of sunset cruises to choose from around Lake Tahoe, nothing elevates the moment quite like the quiet drift of a sailboat.

Save the sails billowing in the wind and cool water spraying against the bow, your journey from South Lake Tahoe to Emerald Bay with Sail Tahoe Blue will feel like magic. No motor, no wake—just an easy breeze powering you along.

Find a comfortable spot on the deck, then tip back a glass of cold, local beer or wine as you glide past Mt. Tallac and some of Tahoe’s favorite beaches. Once in Emerald Bay, you’ll get a close look at the Vikingsholm Castle and the lake’s only island before sailing back to Ski Run Marina.

Especially if you’ve never been sailing before, this is absolutely one of the best Tahoe boat cruise experiences. It really is an unmatched feeling to float through the Sierras off the water & wind alone.

Lock in the most epic sunset of all time on a 2-hour sailing cruise around Lake Tahoe with Sail Tahoe Blue. Premium beer & wine included.

Discover hidden coves on a private boat tour with a captain.

Okay, we know we just waxed poetic about a sunset, happy hour cruise but we’ve got another absolute gem of a Lake Tahoe boat tour in the lineup. If you want the ultimate summer day—and we’re talking the one you think back on for years to come—then a sun-drenched cruise with Boat Tahoe is the way to go.

Pack up the cooler and join your friendly captain on board for one of our favorite boat tours around South Lake Tahoe. Blue skies and the midday sun will transform the lake’s infamously cool waters into the perfect spot to cool off.

Ask your captain to you show around the iconic Emerald Bay sites, suit up for water sports, or simply let them show off the lake’s hidden gems. Tuck into a secluded cove near D.L. Bliss, where you can jump off boulders or anchor in Zephyr Cove for a picnic on the sun deck.

Best of all, your captain will curate the whole experience. Whether it’s breezy, busy or simply a little too boozy, your only job is to kick back and enjoy it.

A private captain, a spacious boat, your crew of six—it’s the perfect recipe for the ultimate day on Lake Tahoe. Discover the best spots on the lake with a 4-hour private boat charter!

Pair a legendary drink with legendary views.

Having one too many of the Camp Richardson Rum Runners is just one of those South Lake Tahoe must-do’s. And while you could always visit The Beacon, we’re partial to slurping down that tropical drink on one of everyone’s favorite Lake Tahoe cruises.

At just 1.5 hours round-trip, the Rum Runner boat tour out to Emerald Bay is half scenic cruise, half party boat. It’s the perfect quick trip—just the right amount of time to buy your friends a round of Rum Runners from the on-boat bar, soak in the views and get back to the marina to chill on the beach.

A great experience for bigger groups or families with kids, these daily tours are one of the easiest (and most fun!) options to get on the water.

Slice into a ribeye dinner cruise beneath the stars.

A year-round classic, sailing from the Zephyr Cove Resort, daytime cruises, dinner cruises and private charters aboard the M.S. Dixie II are always at the top of our list.

But the dinner cruise in particular, with its golden hour departure, full bar and elevated menu transform a scenic boat ride into a can’t-miss Lake Tahoe experience.

The M.S. Dixie II is one of the few Lake Tahoe boat tours that runs no matter what the season. The 500-passenger paddle-wheeler can make a smooth ride out of stormy seas, with a heated salon and dining room with live music. In the summer months, steal out to the sun deck to watch the alpenglow light up the mountain skyline.

Family-friendly and excellent for large groups, this iconic ride around Lake Tahoe is well-loved among locals, tourists and everyone in between.

Enjoy the happiest hour during a North Lake Tahoe cruise.

Everything you’ve seen up until this point has departed from South Lake Tahoe. The Tahoe Gal fixes that. Hands down the best boat cruise from the north side of the lake, this historic paddle-wheeler operates daily tours along the stunning west & north shores of Lake Tahoe.

Tours run daily, with on-board food & beverage available for purchase. Family-friendly options like their morning brunch cruise are always an amazing time, but we’re partial to the 1.5 hour happy hour cruise for obvious reasons.

You’re going for the views, of course, but the long list of martini cocktails and curated selection of local wines doesn’t hurt. Make it a special event by bringing a large group along, or keep it intimate as a date night excursion.

Either way, a happy hour on a boat always trumps a regular ol’ restaurant happy hour in our book.

This list has the potential to be really long because, well, we’re firm believers that these Lake Tahoe cruises are some of the best ways to spend your time and money.

But—let’s be honest. Can you imagine anything better than a sunny day spent on a beautiful boat? A cold water plunge? A chilled Rum Runner paired with mountain views? God speed on that booking, folks.

(Rather rent your own boat? We’ve know a few good pontoon and party boat rentals around the lake too.)

• Day Trip to Lake Tahoe: One Day Itinerary for All Seasons

Looking to make the most of your one day in Lake Tahoe?

Whether taking a day trip to Lake Tahoe from San Francisco or closer, you’ve landed in the right spot. I’ve crafted an action-packed one day itinerary for Lake Tahoe, highlighting the best things I experienced during my two getaways to this crazy clear lake.

The problem is Lake Tahoe is so different in the different seasons. Luckily for you, I went once in the summer on a California road trip and once in the winter for some New Year’s snowboarding. And I’ll have two itinerary versions for each season.

Let’s make the most of your limited time with an exciting day of activities, starting with a hike at Emerald State Park, water activities in South Lake Tahoe, and the best stops on a serene drive around the lake. Below that, I’ll also give you a rundown of the best winter activities in the area.

Sample One Day in Lake Tahoe Itinerary

So you have everything in one scroll, here is a summarized version on the summer and winter Lake Tahoe itineraries. Below, I will go into more detail about each activity.

Summer Day Trip to Lake Tahoe

A day trip in Lake Tahoe is enough time to drive around the whole lake and see the main highlights. But, I recommend sticking to the south and east sides of the lake so you have time for hiking and water activities. 

• Drive in from the south, as South Tahoe  will be where we spend most of the day.
• If you haven’t had breakfast yet, head to the  Driftwood Cafe  in South Lake Tahoe for their fan-favorite pancakes. 
• In  Emerald Bay State Park,  stop at the  Emerald Bay  and  Vikingholm Castle. 
• Go on a  morning hike on the Eagle Falls Trail , a popular trail to a beautiful waterfall. 
• Grab a bite at  Freshies Restaurant & Bar  for a Hawaiian-inspired menu with fantastic lake views.
• Rent a kayak or paddleboard, or go on a sailing trip  on top of the clear lake waters.
• Start on the  scenic drive, hugging the east Lake Tahoe  coast up north.

Zephyr Cove

Cave rock beach.

• Sand Harbor Beach
• Clothing Optional:  Secret Cove Nude Beach

Recommended lodging options for the Night: South Lake Tahoe

• Luxury: Edgewood Tahoe Resort
• Mid-range: Marriott Grand Residence Club, Lake Tahoe
• Budget: The Coachman Hotel

Feel free to mix and match based on your interest and pace. The tour covers a lot of ground, so don’t rush.

Winter Day Trip to Lake Tahoe

Most people who come in the wintertime do so for winter activities. 

• Alternative:  Go on a guided snowshoe tour.
• Lunch:  I always love warming up in the ski lodges with some fries and chicken strips.
• Alternative:  Snowtubing is also one of my favorite winter activities. 
• Relax at a Spa:  Treat yourself to a massage at The Landing Resort & Spa.

Quick Facts about Visiting Lake Tahoe

Did you know that Lake Tahoe is over two million years old and is considered one of the 20 oldest lakes in the world? It’s also the largest alpine lake in North America, and so deep – a whopping 1,644 feet – it could cover the Empire State Building!

Nowadays, Lake Tahoe is a playground that offers everything from thrilling water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding in the summer to adrenaline-pumping snow activities like skiing and snowboarding in the winter. 

Its clear blue waters and the mountains surrounding it, combined with attractions such as Emerald Bay State Park and Heavenly Mountain Gondola, make it a popular destination for West Coastians especially. 

Driving Around Lake Tahoe

Driving around Lake Tahoe is an adventure in itself! The entire loop is approximately 72 miles. It typically takes about 3 hours to complete without any stops. 

But, with the views of the lake and the Sierra Nevada mountains, you’ll want to take your sweet time. That’s why I recommend starting at one end and working your way up only one side (the east side) if you are coming for a day.

What to Do in Lake Tahoe in One Day

Lake Tahoe truly transforms with the seasons. In summer, soak up the sun on its sandy beaches and go boating. In winter, the snowy wonderland invites you to strap on your skis and carve down its world-class slopes.

Below, I’ll go into more detail about the best things to do in Lake Tahoe, divided by its season and according to the itinerary crafted above.

Summer Lake Tahoe Itinerary

Morning: emerald bay state park.

Emerald Bay State Park is a must-visit in Lake Tahoe, especially in the summer. This park is home to some of the area’s most beautiful landscapes and hikes. 

Start your day snapping a pic at the panoramic views of the bay from the scenic overlook on Highway 89. I’m sure your first sight of the emerald green waters of the bay will amaze you as much as it did for me. 

Travel Tip!  There is a parking fee, and this place gets crowded in the summer.

Vikingholm Castle

Next, descend the trail to the shore, where you’ll find the historic Scandinavian-style mansion, Vikingholm Castle. Built in 1929, this 38-room mansion is one of the finest examples of Scandinavian architecture in the United States. 

Originally built as a summer home, the castle is now a part of California’s state park system and is open to the public. You can reach the castle by a steep one-mile trail that descends about 500 feet from the parking area. 

Then, you can take a castle tour or just wander around alone. 

Travel Tip!  The castle is open for tours from late May through the end of September. 

Eagle Falls Trail

Also within the park is the popular Eagle Falls Trail. This hiking trail is a fan-favorite and one of the best in all of Lake Tahoe. The path leads you to fantastic views of high-altitude lakes and waterfalls towards Eagle Lake. 

Eagle Falls Trail is a relatively easy trail that takes about 2 hours to complete, covering a distance of about 2 miles round trip. After a few minutes, you’ll already have a great view of the lower falls and another amazing one of the Upper Falls at the end. You’ll have a complete panorama of Emerald Bay, Fannette Island, and Lake Tahoe in the distance.

Mid-Day: Lake Activities

After hiking, stop for lunch, then cool off with a refreshing swim. You can stay in Emerald State Park, South Lake Tahoe, or beyond. 

Many activities can be done on or around the lake at many beaches. You can get your adrenaline flowing by renting a speedboat for the day or try out water skiing, wakeboarding, or tubing. 

Here are a few of the best activities:

Sailing Cruise Around Lake Tahoe

There is no better way to take in the beauty of Lake Tahoe than aboard a sailboat. Many sailing cruises depart from various ports around the lake.

Depending on your pick, you’ll get to put your feet up and relax or participate in activities such as winetasting, stand-up paddleboarding, swimming, and more.

This sailing cruise on Lake Tahoe is a very popular choice in the area. You’ll go out onto the water for two hours on a 40-foot sailboat.

Kayak or Paddleboarding

For those looking for a bit of activity on the water, head out in your own kayak or paddleboard. The Lake Tahoe coastline is dotted with many rental shops that offer hourly to full-day rentals. Paddle over to hidden beaches and secret coves.

Otherwise, you can take this guided kayak tour from Sand Harbor , where you’ll paddle in a completely transparent kayak.

Afternoon: East Lake Tahoe Scenic Drive

After an exciting day on the water, go for that scenic drive along the eastern shore of Lake Tahoe. Head out of South Lake Tahoe, taking Highway 50 towards Carson City. 

Along this route, the road weaves through the mountains with numerous overlooks to stop at.

Zephyr Cove is renowned for its beautiful beach and another place with exciting water sports. The wide sandy beach is perfect for sunbathing or a stroll by the lake. 

The Zephyr Cove Stables also has horseback rides that lead you through beautiful forest trails with amazing lake views. 

A bit further along the road, you’ll find Cave Rock Beach, a massive cavernous rock formation extending into the lake. The rock itself is a spiritual and historic site for the local Washoe tribe and has a unique geology that dates back millions of years.

Cave Rock Beach itself is small but a beautiful sandy beach. It’s also a favorite spot for fishing. The short Cave Rock trail also starts in a small parking lot on the west side of Highway 50 just before you reach the tunnel. 

This moderate hike is about 0.8 miles round trip and goes to one of the most accessible top-down views of Lake Tahoe and its shorelines.

Sand Harbor State Park

If you are following this route, Sand Harbor should be the last major stop on your drive. The park has gorgeous sandy beaches, rock formations that frame the shoreline, and turquoise waters. It’s definitely somewhere I would include in any Lake Tahoe itinerary. 

Another highlight of the park is the Sand Point Nature Trail, a short, half-mile trail that takes about 30 minutes to finish.

You can find any and all water activities here. In the summer, the park hosts a Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival. You can catch performances in an open-air theater overlooking the lake. 

From here, if you are headed back towards West California, you can pop out on the north end and keep driving west. If not, you can retrace your steps back to South Lake Tahoe.

Winter Lake Tahoe Itinerary

Winter road conditions might be icy, so going all around the lake or up steep mountain passes can be a bit scary.

All Day: Ski and Snowboard at World-Class Resorts

Lake Tahoe is renowned as a hub for winter sports, hosting an array of world-class ski and snowboard resorts. These resorts cater to all skill levels, from beginner slopes to challenging black diamond runs. 

Many resorts also have other activities like snow tubing and sleigh rides. 

I’m a very big snowboarder and have been since I was 8 years old. Around Lake Tahoe, I went to Palisades Resort and Heavenly, some of my favorites in the country.

Travel Tip!  If you’re going many times a season, I recommend getting the Ikon or Epic Pass as this gives you access to multiple resorts in the area. Or, opt for single-day lift tickets.

Lake Tahoe is home to 15 ski resorts, which is just insane.  But the best would be Heavenly, Northstar, Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley), and Kirkwood. 

The complete list of resorts includes:

• Alpine Meadows Ski Resort : Known for its diverse terrain and scenic views.
• Boreal Mountain Resort : A family-friendly destination, Boreal is renowned for its night skiing.
• Diamond Peak Ski Resort : Breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe.
• Donner Ski Ranch : One of the West’s oldest and most iconic ski areas.
• Granlibakken Resort : A historic ski and sled area in a dense forest.
• Heavenly Mountain Resort : The largest ski resort in California and Nevada.
• Homewood Mountain Resort : Unobstructed views of Lake Tahoe from every trail.
• Kirkwood Mountain Resort : Famous for its deep snow and challenging terrain.
• Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe : The closest ski resort to Reno, NV.
• Northstar California Resort : Luxury accommodations and high-end dining facilities.
• Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort : Known for its welcoming atmosphere and innovative terrain parks.
• Soda Springs Mountain Resort : Great for families and first-timers.
• Squaw Valley Ski Resort : Hosted the 1960 Winter Olympics.
• Sugar Bowl Resort : One of the oldest ski resorts in California.
• Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Area : A great place for beginner skiers and snowboarders.

Alternative Activity: Snoeshowing Lake Tahoe

If smashing your tailbone all day isn’t your thing, or you’re just looking for a change of pace, snowshoeing is another fun winter thing to do around Lake Tahoe. 

Hands down, one of the best places to snowshoe is around the frozen Echo Lakes.  Mount Tallac Trail  is an excellent choice as a more challenging option that will take you to the top of Mount Tallac, the highest peak in the area. 

If you have no experience (but are looking to), take this guided snowshoeing tour, which will provide equipment and lessons .

Ice Skating Lake Tahoe

On the list of delightful winter activities around Lake Tahoe, you can’t miss ice skating. I used to compete back in the day, so I always love showing off to my friends who have no clue about my past axel attempts (which, by the way, I never quite nailed).

Around the lake, several outdoor and indoor ice skating rinks cater to skaters of all levels and provide skate rentals. 

Spas Around Tahoe

Rest those burnt-out thighs with a rejuvenating spa treatment. I love going for massages and a sauna after being cold all day, and Lake Tahoe has lots of top-quality spas and services.

Here are a few:

• Spa at Squaw Creek
• Stillwater Spa and Salon
• The Landing Resort and Spa  
• Elements Spa

Places to Visit with More Time

Other places around lake tahoe.

• Taylor Creek Visitor Center : A popular spot for nature walks and bird watching.
• Truckee River : Go rafting, kayaking, and fishing.
• Tahoe Rim Trail : A 165-mile trail that circles Lake Tahoe.

• Ed Z’berg Sugar Pine Point State Park : A state park with miles of hiking trails, a historic mansion, and a beautiful beach.

• Reno, Nevada : Known as “The Biggest Little City in the World”, Reno has a great arts scene and is home to the National Automobile Museum.

• Napa Valley, California : World-renowned for its vineyards and wineries, go wine tasting and fine dining.
• Monterey, California : Famous for its beautiful coastlines, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and historic Cannery Row.

Where to Stay in Lake Tahoe

I stayed in south Lake Tahoe because of how close it is to numerous ski resorts, beaches, and nightlife. I think this is the best place with the most amount of options. So that’s why below I’ve given a few top options based on different budgets.

In the north, Tahoe Vista is more laid-back and is close to several parks, beaches, and hiking trails. Northstar California Resort area is where the luxury experience is at.

Best Hotels in South Lake Tahoe

Is 1 day enough for lake tahoe.

More than one day is needed for Lake Tahoe, especially because you are likely driving in from a few hours away. The region is brimming with activities and attractions in all seasons, and many people vacation here for a week or even more.

A day can be enough if you want to do a highlights tour or go skiing or snowboarding at one of the acclaimed resorts. But with more days, I recommend driving the entire Lake Tahoe Look, going on more hikes, or checking out other activities. 

Best Time To Visit

Lake Tahoe really is a year-round destination, so the best time to visit depends on what you want to do. 

In summer (June-August), the weather is sunny and great for hiking, water sports, and beach days. However, this is the peak season, so expect larger crowds and higher prices.

In winter (December-February), Lake Tahoe transforms into a winter wonderland with plenty of snow for skiing and other snow activities. This is also a popular time to visit, especially around Christmas and New Year’s. It also gets crazy expensive. 

How to Get There

Lake Tahoe is situated near several major cities. If you’re flying, the nearest significant airports are Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) in Nevada, approximately an hour away, and Sacramento International Airport (SMF) in California, about two hours away.

Many people go on a day trip to Lake Tahoe from San Francisco or Sacramento through beautiful landscapes. 

I don’t recommend public transportation, but several shuttle services operate from the airports to the Lake Tahoe region. Tahoe Truckee Area Regional Transit ( TART ) provides service throughout North Lake Tahoe, and Tahoe Transportation District ( TTD ) covers the south.

Final Thoughts: One Day in Lake Tahoe

Whether you’re coming in the summer or winter, come prepared to enjoy the great outdoors. Since I’ve been in both seasons, I can’t even make a final judgement into which I liked better since it was so different. The focus was so much more on the lake in summer, while in winter, it was on the mountain.

Here are Lake Tahoe’s best beaches (along with parking tips)

With soft golden sand and clear, blue waters reflecting the rugged peaks of the Sierra Nevada , Lake Tahoe ’s beaches are astonishingly beautiful.

There’s a catch, though: of this alpine lake’s 72 miles of shoreline, only 34 miles are open to the public . And that public shoreline is in high demand indeed; Lake Tahoe’s beaches are often at capacity from Memorial Day through the end of September. 

To put it mildly, public beach access here can be confusing to first-time visitors. Which is why we’ve put together this list of the best beaches in Lake Tahoe – including tips for how to gain entry.

1. Sand Harbor State Park 

Chances are you’ve seen it in pictures. Sand Harbor ’s sandy coves, enormous boulders and bright turquoise water make it one of the most photographed spots on the lake. One of four Nevada state parks in and around Lake Tahoe, Sand Harbor is home to several beaches. Main Beach is a 2500-ft-long strip of wide, golden sand. Just north of the visitor center, small coves with dramatic rock formations offer visitors platforms from which to jump in the water or soak up the sun. 

Sand Harbor is one of Lake Tahoe’s most accessible beaches , and features a long, wheelchair-friendly boardwalk that overlooks the lake. Other amenities include an underwater dive park, picnic areas, barbecue grills, restrooms, a visitor center, seasonal kayak rentals and a boat launch.

In summer, it also plays host to the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival , which produces Broadway musicals, orchestras and tribute shows, in addition to works by the Bard. 

Planning tip: If you’re visiting during high season, it’s wise to arrive before the gates open (usually 7am in summer). Once the parking lot has filled, the entrance won’t reopen until around 5pm, regardless of how many people leave in the interim. 

Parking is $10 for vehicles with Nevada plates and $15 for everyone else. If you’re attending a festival show, you can purchase parking in advance – which is only valid after 5pm on the day of your performance. 

2. Emerald Bay State Park 

Emerald Bay State Park , on the California side of the lake, is rugged and wild. A highlight here is the unusual Vikingsholm Castle , a historic Scandinavian-style estate you can tour. The wide, sandy beach in front of the house is a popular place for picnics and swimming, offering stellar views of the bay and Fannette Island (the only island in the lake). A second beach is located a mile north, adjacent to a boat-in campground. 

Planning tip: You’ll have to hike about a mile down a steep hill to get to the beaches of Emerald Bay State Park – which means you’ll also have to hike a mile to get back up. Fortunately, there are restrooms, a seasonal visitor center and kayak rentals by the shore. 

Parking is $5 per vehicle and is extremely competitive from Memorial Day through the end of September. If you can’t be there first thing in the morning, space typically opens up again after 3pm. 

3. Kiva Beach

Comprised of sand and rock, and boasting expansive views of Mt Tallac and the Sierra Nevada, 600ft-long Kiva is the perhaps the most dog-friendly beach in Lake Tahoe. With a creek, marsh and forest close by, it’s a great place for enjoying nature. Seasonal amenities include restrooms, a picnic shelter and a beach volleyball court. Kiva Beach is generally less crowded than other Lake Tahoe beaches, so if you’re planning a last-minute trip to enjoy some sun and sand, it’s a good bet. 

Planning tip: Dogs must remain leashed at all times. Though parking is limited, Kiva Beach is only a half-mile walk from Taylor Creek Visitor Center and accessible via the Pope-Baldwin Bike Path. 

4. Commons Beach 

The four-acre Commons Beach Park in downtown Tahoe City is one of the liveliest places on the Lake Tahoe waterfront. In summers, free Sunday-afternoon concerts and Wednesday-night movies on the beach rank among the best free things to do in Lake Tahoe . In addition to hosting some of the lake’s most popular events, Commons Beach offers picnic tables, barbecue grills, a climbing wall, a playground and a sandy beach for swimming and sunbathing. 

Planning tip: Parking is free but limited. Instead of driving yourself, we recommend using TART Connect , North Lake Tahoe’s free, curb-to-curb, on-demand ride service. 

5. Chimney Beach

Chimney Beach lies on national forest land, about two miles south of Sand Harbor State Park. The parking lot is on the opposite side of the trailhead on Hwy 28; from there, it’s a steep, half-mile hike to get down to the beach. (You’ll find no amenities by the shore – but there are portable restrooms and trash cans in the parking lot.) The beach itself is lovely, a curved strip of sand with lagoons and colossal boulders on and off the lakeshore. It takes its name from the stone chimney standing on the sand, which is all that remains of an old caretaker’s cabin. Since it’s off the beaten path, this beach doesn’t tend to get as crowded as its neighbor Sand Harbor. 

Local tip: A trail connects Chimney Beach to Secret Cove, Boaters Beach, Creek Beach and Whale Beach. All are lovely, with the same turquoise waters and smooth rock features that mark this part of the lake. Due to their remoteness, these coves are usually frequented by locals who have long treated them as clothing-optional beaches. 

6. Private Lake Tahoe beaches accessible to hotel guests

Public beach access can be tricky during summer, but there is a workaround. If you want to avoid long lines and uncertainty about parking – and you’re willing to pay for the privilege – a few Lake Tahoe hotels provide private beach access to guests.

The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe operates a Lake Club with a private beach . Exclusive to hotel guests who pay an extra fee, the Lake Club has many perks, including a shuttle service, kayak and SUP rentals, chef-prepared food and soft drinks (alcoholic beverages are an additional charge), an outdoor whirlpool spa and access to luxury speedboat rentals from MasterCraft. 

The Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa, and Casino is located across the street from a private beach in Incline Village. Hotel guests can reserve complimentary lounge chairs and cabanas; the resort also opens a seasonal open-air restaurant, seasonal floating bar and year-round fine-dining restaurant on the waterfront. 

Edgewood Tahoe Resort is one of the few true waterfront hotels in Lake Tahoe. Its long, sandy beach features lawn games and Adirondack chairs. Lounge chairs and rental cabanas are available a few steps away, at the pool.
