Caribbean-blue water, white boulders, long strips of sand, sunny days, snow-capped mountains in the distance — Lake Tahoe is an idyllic place to pull out a towel, plop down in a chair and spend the day at the beach. Especially this year, with lake levels so low, beaches are that much larger. But did you know that less than half of Lake Tahoe’s 72 miles of shoreline is public land? Getting to the beach, navigating the private property and public rights-of-way, can be a lot more challenging if you don’t know where to go or how to access the public shoreline in Lake Tahoe.
