Cave Rock

Spectacular views of the lake

Highway 50
Lake Tahoe, NV 89413
United States

This wonderful day-use facility is located just south of the Cave Rock tunnel. The name originated from a series of small caves that had been cut away on the west side of the mountain when the lake elevation was 140 feet higher than it is today. This took place during the last Ice Age. The boat ramp makes the lake accessible for watercraft of all sizes. You will find all the comforts necessary to make it an enjoyable outing including restrooms, picnic tables complete with fire pits and barbecues, a small beach and spectacular views. Dogs are welcome as long as they are kept leashed.

Logan Shoals Vista Point

Panoramic views of Lake Tahoe Highway 50 North of Cave Rock
Lake Tahoe, NV 89448
United States
As you cruise down Highway 50, just north of Cave Rock, you will see a sign for this beautiful viewing area. Be sure to stop and have your camera ready. You will be treated to panoramic views of Lake Tahoe and see valleys that were carved out by glaciers millions of years ago. Emerald Bay is one of these incredible valleys. You will marvel at the crystal-clear blue waters that make Lake Tahoe famous. This is a wonderful place to bring a picnic lunch or just relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.

Secret Harbor

Clothing optional 2005 Highway 28
(2.5 miles south of Sand Harbor)
Lake Tahoe, NV 89451
United States
+1 775 573 2674 Secluded coves, enormous boulders and huge trees make this beach a popular place for nude sunbathers. If that's not your thing, come anyway and enjoy the beautiful beach. You will find a paved parking lot above the beach, but one needs to walk about a mile to reach the water. It's well worth the hike to enjoy the solitude and beauty of the area. Dogs are welcome to join the beach activities. The beach is accessible year-round, if you dare.
