Kings Beach State Recreation Area
Kings Beach
A large public beach on the California side of the north shore of Lake Tahoe. The shallow, gently sloping water is good for family wading and boating.
Kings Beach State Recreation Area has a sandy beach about 700 m long. The lake bottom slopes gently, and in summer this is the busiest public beach on the north shore. You can rent kayaks, paddleboards and beach chairs. The shoreline has picnic areas and a children's playground, and on Thursday evenings there are often free lakeside concerts. In town along State Route 28 are hamburger and ice cream shops. Parking is charged by the hour, and during peak season spaces near the beach fill up before noon. It is about 8 km from Incline Village and about one hour from Reno.
