Quality/Quantity - Not so hidden, lol. The first beach walking towards Sand Harbor from Incline. Very small, but we were here off season (just the way I like it) and other than one other family, it is just us "two" here. So a private beach, lol. We are hosting our friends today. Showed them our free local parking spot. Gave them a quick tour of this area and all of Incline. A short 1.5 walk on the beautiful and easy Tahoe East Shore Trail. Just be careful of all the ebikes that do NOT have full control of their bikes or themselves. It would be nice if there was a separate bike path, or only allow manual bikes on the walking paths...? Atmosphere - Again, a very small, NOT so hidden beach. A nice stop/break from the 3 mile walk. Approximately the half way mark from Incline to Sand Harbor. Restrooms nearby, but I can NOT recommend them. More like outhouses with NO sink to wash your hands. Easy walk or bike ride. Fairly easy, very short walk/hike to each path. Service - Self service. Price - Free. Owner Comment - N/A. read more

If you park at tunnel creek cafe, you can access the beach. You walk on the sidewalk then loop under a tunnel. The lake is always amazing. You can even do the walk with a stroller. read more

So, in a review of a beach I'm going to talk about... hiking? Yep. I'm an iconoclast. I do what I want. One of the benefits of being in Incline Village with a (semi)local is that you do local things. You go to local stores. You shop at local groceries. And you go to hidden beaches... or, Hidden Beach. Being that it's Hidden Beach, parking is neither close nor readily available which was the purpose of the excursion. Our group wanted to get in some steps, fresh air and vitamin D so we set course to trek/hike the trails above the beach. It really is the journey, kids... To the surprise of no one, it's gorgeous. Blue skies. Barfy Burgers! Girls!!* Well, two of the three. Watch your step. More than once I looked up to the skies at the trees and didn't pay attention to the ground beneath my feet. In a place with ridges and drops, that's not too smart. The hike isn't very arduous (about a half hour at a leisurely pace; more if you want to stop and stare a bit), assuming baseline health and mobility. Without the two, you might want to avoid it. We were here out of season, so we were very alone in our travels (which I loved). We made it to the beach and most of my crew took off their shoes and wading into the water. Not I. I'm not super into cold (although crystal blue) water and rocky sand paired with bare feet (see my Key West beach reviews). I was happy to scale some rocks (boulders?) and sit on the sand (again, watch where you sit; despite it supposed to be unspoiled people bring their dogs and don't clean up). *Weep if you don't know the reference. read more

I hesitated to put out this review as I love this beach so much and want to keep it to myself. My little secret so to say. Well here goes... Quiet, peaceful, secluded with a small sandy beach area with some rocks and boulders but not so big that would draw a crowd. The water was cool and refreshing without being too cold in late August. We were there right before Labor Day but after kids are back in school so we felt like we have the whole place to ourselves. You do have to walk a short 20 mins distance until you see a small bend that leads to an under pass that connects to the other side. Safe and no need to cross the road. There's some wooden steps that leads down to the water. Clean scenic path revealing the treasures ahead. I highly recommend water shoes and a blanket to lounge on. Bring refreshments and snacks and clean up after yourself please. Don't forget the sunscreen and sunglasses. It is a dog friendly area which is why we chose this spot. We did have to park near a restaurant and pay for parking. After 5pm it's $1 per hour otherwise it's $5-$6 per hour. We had trouble with paying at the kiosk and it ran out of paper. Text message options did not work either :/ nonetheless we paid and took a screen shot as proof. The walking path is paved with a bit of incline/decline but it was easy. I don't recommend high heels but easy with sandals. I can't wait until we are back! read more

Love this beach! Got there by hiking the east shore biking trail and just took a few stairs down to the beach. Beautiful clear blue water with rocks on the side to climb. read more

Hidden Beach - Beaches Near Me - Incline Village, Nevada

Great dog-friendly public beach near the incline village area. The name is "Hidden" but it is really not hidden at all. Easily accessible from the new Tahoe East Shore Trail (20-30m walk from the parking lot) with paths, steps, signage, and turn-out off the highway. *** this beach does not have any nearby parking space and parking along the highway is not allowed *** The beach itself is like many other tahoe beaches, a bit rocky, sand is a bit coarse, and cold cold water. But don't take me wrong, it's a lovely beach, and everyone will have a great time here. read more

Beautiful beach on the East shore/Nevada side. Yes, the parking is scarce, dusty, and slightly annoying. And yes, there is a little hike ( also dusty) through the woods and down to the beach. But once you get there, you are greeted by a narrow sandy beach, clear aqua and turquoise waters and smooth rocks. It's a naturally beautiful spot to relax and take in the serenity. It was not empty when we got there mid-morning, but we noticed the crowds picked up even more as time wore on. Be careful when climbing on the rocks, and realize the water will be cold as it is Lake Tahoe (even though it may resemble the waters of the Caribbean here)! The hike back up the hill was a bit of a climb, so older,out of shape people may really struggle. Just don't bring a lot of bags coolers unless you're fit. But don't miss this gem! read more

Great place to take my dog To play in the lake! Only drawback Is the parking and the mile walk down to it. read more

Very easy to get to from Tunnel creek cafe walking or biking along the east shore bike trail. Will take you approx. 30 minutes if you walk. It's a "hidden beach" between incline village and sea harbor. We very much enjoyed the beach because it was not crowded. The water was crystal clear and we had a blast climbing on rocks and playing in the water in August. read more

The first time I came to this beach I was blown away by how crystal clear the water was and how beautiful the sites of the lake were on the quick .40 mile trail down if you find parking in the right spot. The only thing that slightly annoys me are the dogs, which are allowed on this beach. Most of the owners don't care if they run all over your towel or shake water and sand all over you. This is why I try to find a spot close to a baby or people without dogs. I just like this beach because it's simple and free. If you're looking for a nice spot to watch the sunset, Hidden beach is the place to go. It's fairly quiet in the evenings so you can have some alone time to meditate or whatever. read more

Based on other Yelp reviews, we were determined to find this hidden gem. We parked off Highway 89 just past the residents only parking. The weather wasn't great so we didn't want to spend the money ($10) to park at Sand Harbour, but still wanted to experience the north shore from a beach with turquoise water. To get here you walk along the guard rail to a second set of stairs. The views were stunning, even with the overcast weather! Worth the search! read more

That was a beautiful place many people wanted to get there but hardly got in even though some parking spots were available but the attendees didn't let anyone in. The best thing is to get there early and line up in the morning or come late before it closes in a few hours. You will be glad to be there! read more

Hidden Beach is exactly what you think... a hidden Beach between Incline Village and Sand Harbor. It's got the rock formations like Sand Harbor without the crowds. Electric blue water, gorgeous views, and nice locals hanging out and taking a swim. Avoid on the weekends if you hate crowds, Monday through Wednesday is the prime time to get street parking and hike down to the beach. It was a little foggy from the wildfire smoke, but still fun! read more

There are actually a number of tiny little coves en route to Hidden Beach. Now with the water so low, there's a bit more access to the coves. I like to take my out of town guests here for a photo shoot at sunset. PRO TIPS: Check online for sunset time. Arrive approximately 10 minutes prior and wait 20 minutes after to get the full glory of the sunset colors. Best sunsets happen with a bit of clouds for more color. read more

Hidden beach is super beautiful and an awesome spot if you want to be secluded from people. The water is jaw dropping clear and there's a bunch of different beach spots to pick from. But the only downside is parking!! Gosh there is hardly any parking for miles on either end of the beach but then again I guess that's why they call it "hidden beach" Tip: if you want a parking spot that's not super far away go early in the morning or don't go on the weekends read more

I was excited to find this little "hidden" beach on my last day in Tahoe. The view was amazing and there were not many people I had to share the beach with either! It's also an easy walk from the Hyatt in Incline Village. read more

Fun fun fun!!! Such beautiful views of the lake from here. We were able to walk and just enjoy the peaceful air of the lakeside.

Awesome, awesome, AWESOME beach!! I don't mind having us parking on the side of the road in order to be at this beach. Quick & easy walk on the side of the road, on a trail that led to the beach. It wasn't busy at all (even with it being the first really hot day of the summer). It's dog friendly (BONUS), the people around us were to friendly and so nice. There was dogs off leashes, which I think is awesome! That way they can roam around, play & swim. This is definitely a beach to take dogs who are well behaved. There was hardly any kids, which makes it nice to relax with friends. There was plenty of space for other people to sit around us, even with COVID-19. This will definitely be our go to beach from here on out! read more

This place is beautiful! A bit hard to find parking and there's a short hike down to the "hidden beach"..but once you get through those two obstacles the beach is AMAZING! This place is dog friendly and family oriented..no crazy ragers. The entrance is to the left of a few cabins along the the HWY and once you enter keep left down the trail for about 1/4 mile, you'll walk along the fence and rear right at the end and youll see a sign for hidden beach, after you'll see a flight of wooden stairs tht will take down to the "hidden beach". Have fun!! read more

Hidden Beach - A small place of paradise!!! - Beaches Near Me - Incline Village, Nevada

First of all, the address posted here in Yelp is NOT the address of the Hidden Beach. Drive away from Incline Village [Highway 82] with the lake to your right side, and watch for the signs at your left saying "Private Property Parking" and such. Drive a little more until you see a patch of dirt road that could accommodate more or less 6-8 cars (depending on how other people park their car). Park your car there and bring your stuff. Hike/walk to the left of that patch of dirt road. You will see multiple small trails going down to the rocky beach. You can go down here and have some private time away from the crowd or you can walk further to the sandy area. If you want some sand, go on and walk further and you will see a sign that says Hidden Beach. This is a stretch of sandy area where you can lounge. Bring some shade (tents and such) because there is no shade around the area. The "beach" itself is nice but be sure to arrive early so that you can get a good spot. The beach is "pet friendly" so you can bring your dogs and whatever animals you own. It was crowded when we went so we did not stay long. read more

A hidden gem in North Lake Tahoe. There really are no words to describe how beautiful this little beach is! We were dropped off by our Uber driver on the side of the highway, and immediately questioned our decision to come here. We had no service, were carrying beach supplies, it was 90 degrees, and there was no beach in sight. Regardless, we picked up our stuff and walked past some caution tape down a slope that led to a short trail. After about a minute, we saw the beautiful beach in front of us!! We greatly enjoyed the day here; it is quiet, secluded, and the water is crystal clear. The parking is a few minutes walk down the highway, but it is limited so taking an uber is honestly a great option. You'll have to walk a bit back towards Incline Village to get reception to call a return uber, but its not took bad. We actually ended up walking back to Incline Village from Hidden Beach. There is enough sidewalk and shoulder room to walk safely, and since the weather was beautiful we greatly enjoyed it. It took about 30 minutes. read more

One of the best beaches in Tahoe. It does not have a parking lot so you have to park on the main road and walk in. Arrive early so you don't have to park farther than you want to walk. Some of the best views and crystal clear water. This part of the lake has really cool rock formations, too. read more

Solid spot about 2 miles away from both Kings Beach and Sand Harbor. Sand harbor parking lot was "full" although I saw 15 or so spots with my own eyes. Their employees are rude as hell and stupid for missing out on hundreds of dollars for parking. This spot was a great alternative for sand harbors negligence. read more

I have a lot of great memories of hidden beach. Its a great place to bring your dog. The parking can be difficult. However, of all the secret beaches on the North/East shore this is the easiest to get to and the shortest walk down. The trail starts just past the last grouping of homes along state route 28 (headed towards the South shore). You can park just past the sign that says restricted parking, residents only. Then just follow the trail. There are several little trails along the way. Each goes to it's own beautiful spot along the lake. Some people prefer the more secluded areas and some don't mind the main beach. Whatever your preference, there is usually plenty of room for just you or a whole group of your family and friends. And don't forget to bring your furry friends. Just be sure to keep a eye on them (the road is not too far from the actual beach), and be considerate of the other beach goers who may not be excited about your furry friends presence amongst their beach towels or small children. read more

Difficult to park but nice beach. Lots of off leash dogs. Do not park in front of the cabins/resident parking because the ticket is $300 or so and the residents can call to have you towed. read more

This is the same beach that in the early 70's, when I was in high school, was our hang out. A quick drive from Reno and working swing shift, I could go up to the lake, sun during the best time of the day and be back in time for work. This has been a hot spot for what, 40 years now??? Glad to hear it is still available as I will be making a trip as soon as the weather warms up. Nothing like lying in the sand, swimming out to a rock and lying on the rock until I can't take the heat anymore and dive in! The water is so clear, you can see to the bottom. I hope it's the same. Some of the best times of my teen years were spent right on that beach!! read more
