Pope Beach

Pope Beach is the longest of all Tahoe's beaches, and has parking along the length of it. Bring your pitchers of beer along with you, for alcoholic beverages are allowed, so long as you don't have glass bottles. As with other beaches in this area (Baldwin, Kiva, Camp Rich) there is typically less wind than the east shore. There is a $5 California Park Service fee to park here. There are restrooms, picnic tables, and standing BBQs. Pope Beach is located on the south side of Lake Tahoe, approximately 3 miles north of the "Y" (the intersection of Highway 50 and Highway 89) in South Lake Tahoe. Parking costs $7 a car and dogs are not allowed.
