Kings Beach State Recreation Area

Such and nice and clean beach. Located near food and parking and you can wade over 90ft of the beach and just float and relax. Lake Tahoe is amazing this is a hidden gem.

This was midway in our Drive Around trip and we were really happy to stop by. You can laze on the beach or stroll into the crystal clear water. The Speedboat jetty is nearby in case you're game.

Kings Beach is a very popular beach. You have to get there earlier in the morning to get a good spot. We stayed in the Truckee area. It is about 20 mins to get to Kings Beach from where we were. We left about 9 a.m., and one side of the beach was already pretty packed. We went early in the morning, on a Wednesday. A fee for parking which got packed quickly. If parking gets packed, there is parking across the street. We loved the rentals nearby where we rented a couple of paddle boards. They also have jet skis, kayaks, and other 3 wheeled floating peddlers to rent as well. Plus with the shops and eaterys right across the street were a plus.

It was a fun beach for the kids. Ours collected a bunch of rocks and pebbles for hours. The water was pretty cold but refreshing to get into in the summertime. Overall, it wasn't overly crowded, and it was clean with water sports and activities nearby. Be sure to bring your own towels and lounge chairs/tents because there's nowhere to rent once you're there. Parking is hard to find since spaces along the beach were limited. We had a fun time and stayed there for 3 hours.

Amazing place to view sunset. Water is crystal clear and best place for kids to play with nice sand. Water activity like kayak and paddle board is available for rent. Paid car parking spots available next to beach. Car parking charges $10/day.
