This Hidden Beach In Nevada Will Take You A Million Miles Away From It All
The largest alpine lake in North America, Lake Tahoe is an alluring freshwater lake with crystal-clear water and gorgeous mountain panoramas. Straddling Nevada and California, it’s a popular tourist attraction with tons of amazing beaches including several hidden beaches (and not just the one literally named Hidden Beach).
If you’re looking to get away from the crowds, there’s a lesser-known hidden beach on the Nevada side that will do the job quite nicely.
This intimate hidden beach is located about two miles south of Sand Harbor State Park.
The chimney is a remnant of a former caretaker's cabin.
Parking is available on both sides of the road near the trailhead down to Chimney Beach, but spots fill up quickly. The trail leads you down from the parking lot before curving down to the shoreline.
We recommend you wear a good pair of walking shoes for the hike to and from this hidden beach. (Don't worry, you won't be wearing them for long).

The two photos above were taken at Chimney Beach during the August 2016 Perseids meteor shower. Absolutely breathtaking!
