Also, there is plenty to be seen outside of the park, including backcountry hiking trips, camping, swimming, and water sports which abound and draw thousands of visitors every season. There are many popular beaches in the area for different purposes, and knowing the right ones to visit can make your stay that much more enjoyable.

In the summer months, one of the most populated locations is Sand Harbor, which includes sandy beaches, swimming accessibility, boat launches, picnicking facilities, and group use facilities. You’ll find this destination about three miles south of Incline Village on State Route 28. If you want something less crowded and more secluded, give Memorial Point and Hidden Beach a try. These areas are much more private than Sand Harbor, and offer beautiful panoramic lake views. These two locations are best known for swimming, picnicking, and relaxing on the beach.
