Inside Knowledge: Sand Harbor Incline Village is a popular destination during the Summer because it offers tourists many options in fun outdoor activities.

Do's and Don'ts:
- Do Respect Nature: One of the reasons Sand Harbor Lake Tahoe is well-maintained is because there are strict rules one should follow while visiting this beach. For example, there are no pets allowed anywhere on the beach or trails, no camping and all trash and litter must be disposed of properly. Wildlife including plants and animals are protected under state law and visitors should help keep parks clean by picking up after themselves.
- Do Get in the Water: Sand Harbor Incline Village offers a beautiful stretch of soft white sand and calm crystal blue waters perfect for those looking to unwind. There is no excuse not to get in the water since there is something for everyone. For those who want to stay active try kayaking or scuba diving, those who would rather relax can dip their feet in the water or sunbathe on a giant boulder.
- Don't Forget to Pack a Lunch: It would be a good idea to bring box lunch since Sand Harbor Tahoe has a large and beautifully-shaded picnic area. Each picnic site also has a barbecue grill, great for outdoor Summer barbecues. Paved walkways make this area easily accessible to those with disabilities.
- Don't Forget Your Wallet: Entrance and parking at Sand Harbor Tahoe is $12 per vehicle. While there are many activities people can enjoy for free such as picnicking, hiking and swimming, there are a few other great options too. During the Summer months, visitors can rent kayaks and paddle boards for a full day for $60 to $80 respectively. There are also great kayak and paddle board tours and lessons available at Sand Harbor Lake Tahoe.
