This is a great beach for amenities! There is something for everyone! There are basketball courts, horseshoes, and volleyball courts for those that want to participate in activities outside the water.

While there are local restaurants nearby, there are picnic areas and BBQ's where you can bring your own food and grill.

In the summer, this is the place to be for boat rentals. North Tahoe Watersports provides kayaks, jet ski rentals, paddleboats, parasailing, and the big water bikes that you can rent. My kids loved this beach when they were younger!

Parasailing looks super fun, but due to my fear of heights, I'll leave this activity for others! I just enjoy watching - it is great to walk out on the Pier and watch them take off and land.
