Cave Rock Beach Area
The Cave Rock beach area is located at the south end of the park where park visitors can swim, sunbathe, play in the sand, scuba dive, snorkel, and launch non-motorized watercraft. This is a nice area, but small and the crowds are fairly non existent. This alone can make for a great place to spend a nice day at the beach if you want to avoid the crowds. Take advantage of the picnic areas located in the park that include picnic tables and barbeque pits. Pets are welcome, but they must be kept on a leash and stay off of the beach. There is a day use entrance fee if you are just coming to park and use the beach. For additional beach options visit our Lake Tahoe beaches map.
