Hidden Gems of East Tahoe: Beaches and Bites Await

The lure of Lake Tahoe extends beyond its emerald waters, snowy peaks, and sun-soaked beaches. Beginning our journey at the shoreline, east Lake Tahoe boasts an array of secluded beaches, each with a unique flavor that reflects the diverse appeal of this mountain haven. Whether you’re a fan of water sports or seeking tranquil moments by the lakeside, these beaches are the place to be.

Hidden Beach, living up to its name, offers a dog friendly spot for those looking for a quiet escape. Accessible via a moderate trail, its unspoiled beauty makes it worth every step.  Chimney Beach, named after its unusual chimney structure, offers a unique spot for sunset enthusiasts. Its western view provides an unparalleled perspective of the descending sun, painting the sky with hues of pink and orange.

For a taste of Tahoe’s history, visit the lakeside mansion and beautifully manicured grounds of Thunderbird Lodge. Just north of the lodge a pebbled beach awaits for a quiet picnic. Meanwhile, Sand Harbor State Park offers a larger, more family-friendly space with facilities and a choice of water-based activities. Its calm waters and expansive sandy beaches create an idyllic setting for a day of relaxation and play.

After a day of sun-soaked adventure, nothing quite hits the spot like good food, and T’s Rotisserie in Incline Village is a must-visit on any Tahoe itinerary. This family-owned establishment has been serving the community for years, and once you taste their fare, you’ll understand why.

T’s Rotisserie is renowned for its hearty, flavorful  and affordable food. From succulent rotisserie chicken and tri-tip beef to vegetarian-friendly taco’s and burritos, there is something for everyone and it is dog friendly. A perfect way to refuel after a day exploring Tahoe’s beaches.
