Kings Beach is a very popular beach. You have to get there earlier in the morning to get a good spot. We stayed in the Truckee area. It is about 20 mins to get to Kings Beach from where we were. We left about 9...Read More

Amazing place to view sunset. Water is crystal clear and best place for kids to play with nice sand. Water activity like kayak and paddle board is available for rent. Paid car parking spots available next to beach. Car parking charges $10/day.

Beautiful beach with lots of ducks and seagulls, and nice golden sand. It can get pretty windy though. There's a pier there as well which isn't too crowded. The ducks are comfortable with people and don't fly away easily. Got some great close up photos.

Beautiful place to see amazing views of Lake Tahoe and the mountains. You do have to pay for for parking, but it allows you to get in to any other California State Park on the same day. Bathrooms here are also really clean!

This was my first time visiting. Won't be my last. Eventhough parking was a hard feat, the beach was clean and the area was kept up. Everyone does a good job of cleaning up their own areas. There are a shortage of barbecue grills....Read More

Beautiful beach. Neat and clean water. Mountains covered with snow adds the beauti to Lake. May be crowded on weekends. Nice place for family and kids, though the water is very cold. Restrooms and customer parking are available on beach.
