If Sand Harbor Beach is perhaps the prettiest beach on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, Baldwin Beach is its Californian equivalent. Located on the lake's southern shore, this family-friendly beach stretches out for around half a mile and offers some unbeatable views of the lake and surrounding landscapes, dominated by the impressive Mount Tallac.
Like many south shore locations at Lake Tahoe, the water at Baldwin Beach tends to be very warm and welcoming, so it's perfect for swimming. You can also try kayaking at this location, with rental services right nearby, and there are picnic tables and grills too for people who want to cook up some treats on the beach.
