Chimney Beach Trail

Cappie’s Scoop: Imagine just hiking along a trail, through the pine trees and then boom, you’re on the beach! You can imagine how excited I was to jump off the dirt trail and into the sand and then into the water! Mom surprised me with this hike and I wanted to stay a while just sitting on one of the cool rocks or sunbathing in the sand. I love the Lake Tahoe area! Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!

Tips: This is a gorgeous beach on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. Plan to go swimming or even hike down with your paddleboard!

Directions: If you’re driving south on Highway 28, the turn off is 2.6 miles past Sand Harbor State Park. Once parked, walk past the restrooms to the trailhead. The parking lot is very small so plan to arrive early especially if going on a weekend.
