It's smack dab in downtown Tahoe City and on a Thursday in August, with the farmer's market, it is such an awesome spot to hang with friends, grab food, enjoy the live music and the beach. It has some sand, grass, a playground, bathrooms, a small parking lot but plenty of street parking. I'd imagine on weekends it tends to get much busier, but on a weekday, it can be a little slice of heaven.

The beach had a lovely atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and a relaxed family-friendly vibe. Another nice part of the area is that there are plenty of restaurants, ice cream shops, stores, and other places to explore nearby. It is easy to make a full day out of the visit without having to travel far for food or something else to do. I recommend arriving early because parking can fill up quickly. Otherwise, you may have to pay around $20 to park somewhere else or take your chances finding another spot. Overall, we had a great family visit and would gladly return.
