I've been visiting Commons Beach every summer since I moved to Reno, & as always, it's a beautiful, classic beach to go spend a day of the weekend at (without the ocean part!!).

My reason for four stars is that something was missing this year...the live bands. If you've ever partied on Commons Beach prior to Covid, you know that the live music is really an essential, key part to the summer vibes.

I looked around, & was incredibly happy to see that 97% of people were mask-free. However, I wish the few people that did decide to wrap them around their faces, as soon as they got out of the water, wouldn't have. There's really, truly no reason for it, except as a statement of their own arrogance.

Also, an old lady almost tore into me for throwing a (real) flower on the ground while I was sitting in my car. I had to explain to her that flowers are not considered litter. Locals obviously do NOT care for cars with Nevada plates 🧐 don't forget...1/3 of the lake is in OUR state :)
