Introduction:
Nevada's east shore is not known for it's sandy beaches... except for Sand Harbor. While most Nevada side beaches have coarse sand that is tough on the feet, Tahoe's prevailing breezes deposit a fine grained white sand here that is the harbor's namesake. However, the area's beauty is derived from the numerous rocks as much as the sand. It's not just about the beauty above water, either. Scuba diving and snorkelling are both very popular here.

Things to do:
Swim, hike, scuba dive, go boating or simply lounge on the shore and enjoy the stunning views at this stretch of sandy beaches.To get a good view of Lake Tahoe, try the easy Sand Point Nature Trail with interpretive signs. In summer, cool off with a swim or, if you brought scuba gear, a shore dive in the crystal-clear water.
