King's Beach

Do you think you can't make it to the beach on a day trip? You can! Sort of. It's not the ocean, but King's Beach at North Lake Tahoe is about as close as you'll come in a single day.

Lake Tahoe is a cold lake so wait until late in the summer to visit King's Beach if you plan to swim. Bring your floaties, sand toys and a big umbrella since the sun can be pretty fierce. This is a great place for a lakeside picnic and a day in the sun.

Your trip to King's Beach can be as cheap or as expensive as you like--besides basking in the sun for free, you can also rent watercraft. Kayaks, jet skis and water bike paddle boats are available by the hour right on the beach. Or just watch the parasaliers and save yourself some cash. There's a play structure, too, in case your kids get tired of all that sand and water.
