Review:

Sand Harbor Beach is found on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe and is one of the best beaches within a relatively short distance of nearby Carson City. Every part of Lake Tahoe is beautiful, but Sand Harbor Beach is extra special. Huge boulders and bright blue waters decorate the landscape here, with alpine trees and stunning views in every direction. This Lake Tahoe beach is a beautiful spot for swimming and there's even a cove for scuba divers to explore.

Not only that, but Sand Harbor Beach also has its own visitor center, as well as picnic areas and a boat launch site. It's one of the most popular beaches on Lake Tahoe, so you can expect to see big crowds on sunny days, and it's definitely worth a visit. This beach also hosts the annual Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival for visitors who are interested in hearing some beautiful poetry to accompany their beach trip.
