This small rocky beach has picnic tables, restrooms and a nature trail. This beach is great for dogs, but bring water shoes because it's very rough on human feet. Leashed dogs are allowed on the eastern portion of the beach. Mutt Mitt clean-up bags available onsite.

The beach is next to Sierra Boat Works on North Lake Blvd. Parking is conveniently close to the beach. Waterman's Landing, a beachfront cafe and dog-friendly stand-up paddleboard operation, offers tables where you can park for awhile. Dogs are also allowed on on the deck of the cafe.

Help us keep this beach beautiful and dog-friendly:
• Always follow the posted rules
• Respect natural marine life and habitats
• Be aware of tides and currents
• Pack in and pack out, leaving only paw prints

Dip Into The Blue

Carnelian Bay

Of course you can take your dog swimming in Lake Tahoe! True, dogs aren't welcome everywhere, but that's not to say that canine-friendly splash spots don't exist. You’ll have to rise and shine with the early birds to snag a parking spot along Highway 28 south of Incline Village, but your efforts will pay off when you find a trail leading to a pocket cove with soft white sand, crystal-clear water and sensuously sculpted rocks where you can hang out for the morning or the day. more »
