Baldwin Beach is one of the top South Lake Tahoe locations for all kinds of beach-goers, but is especially well-suited for families with young children. It's a very easy beach to access and offers a whole lot of space, stretching out for around half a mile in total, so even on busy days it never gets too crowded or noisy. Beautiful views of Lake Tahoe's surrounding scenery, including the impressive Mount Tallac, can be enjoyed from this south shore beach and the waters here tend to be very warm, perfect for paddling and wading. Be sure to note, however, that furry friends aren't allowed on this beach and there aren't many shady spots, so it pays to bring an umbrella or beach tent.
