    Beautiful, private beach that you can get into during off season times. Gorgeous views. Quiet. The water was like glass today. It was warm in the sun. Beautiful grassy areas. Geese hanging out. Paradiso in my opinion. Wonderful place to chillax and enjoy the views.

    You are able to enjoy sand, grass, pool, Tahoe, and sun! There is play areas and pleanty of shade for the fair skinned. This was my favorite place to go during the summer when I was a kid. In many ways it still is.

    Burnt Cedar Beach is such a wonderful beach on Lake Tahoe, it's just perfect. I visit from Florida about once a year and I am lucky enough to know somebody who lives in incline Village and is able to get me a ticket to come in with her, she is so generous to do that because it is not easy for people to get the tickets. It has a little beach on Lake Tahoe with a beautiful view. most people crowd around the waters edge especially if you have children who are going to be swimming and you need to keep an eye on them.you want to get there early and to get that spot. Otherwise near the parking lot there's huge grassy area with a lot of trees and shade. although that part of the beach is not a swimming beach but it's beautiful place to lay down a blanket or some chairs and have a picnic and you can still have the great view Lake Tahoe.

    This is our favorite "private" beach in Incline. You'll have to pay an entrance fee (think it was $30 for the whole family) but it's worth it. The beach is great, the the grassy area with grill and playground are great for the kids to play on, there's a pool with a water slide, and a bar with beach service. Kayaks and SUPs are available for rent.

    It's so nice having water again. My kids will love to go swimming this summer in the pool and cove.

    This spot on Tahoe has ahhhmazing breathtaking views, dog friendly beach access for everyone and is…read moretruly a hike to a hidden gem that you won't soon forget!! Skunk Harbor not only combines all of these wonderful attributes but also throws in a bit of history for you to check out too! Parking is FREE but limited, located at a turnoff along HWY 28 about a few miles north of the Spooner/HWY 50 junction - look for an old green pipe gate which is also the entrance to the trailhead (do NOT park in front of gate, you WILL be fined). After you park, grab your gear (keep in mind there are NO facilities - take out what you take in). Travel along the old dirt road on the other side of the green gate through the Tahoe forest. When you reach the fork in the road you have 2 choices: left fork leads to Prey Meadows which is blanketed with many varieties of wildflowers in the spring anddd right fork leads you to Skunk Harbor. Throughout your hike down to Skunk Harbor take in the breathtaking picture worthy views all around. Upon your arrival to the beach be sure to find the historical remants of an old railroad ramp used to supply timber to Virginia City after the Comstock Lode plus an abandoned stone house along the waters edge with historical markers from the 1920s that belonged to the wealthy family of George Newhall built as a summer house here for vacations and parties. Everything was brought in by boat, during the Roaring Twenties ~ WOW!! This is a MUST DO!! Hike is roughly 3 miles round trip, I always enjoy an adventure / hike with a reward at the end, Skunk Harbor not only has this throughout but pays off at the end. Be prepared for a bit of workout on the way back out as it is uphill and can be exposed depending on time and season/weather. So bring plenty of H20 and take your time but this hidden gem is worth it!!

    My favorite spot to hang out and enjoy Lake Tahoe's pristine waters. If you get there early enough…read moreand don't do in the dead of summer, you'll have a good shot of having it all to yourself. My last 3 trips have resulted in me being the only one down there for a solid couple hours. The trail and beach are dog friendly, so bring your companion along with you. It's a short hike in and out but beware, your going up and up on the way out. Nothing impossibly difficult, but it can wind you. Other than that, go out and enjoy it. Leave no trace, respect the historic building down there, and don't feed the wildlife. Oh, by the way, parking can be a pain. There's only room for maybe 6-7 cars if they cozy up with one another. So like I said above, getting here early is key.
