This is a nice clean beach with soft sand that wasn't too busy when we came in August, however the only reason for the 3 stars is because it is listed, on many websites, including the national forest maps, as a dog-friendly beach, and for this reason we opted to get an air B&B near this beach; however upon arriving with our two beach loving dogs, we found signs that stated no dog allowed on the beach. In fact every beach we visited in the area, previously listed as dog-friendly, no longer allow dogs. The signs state that dog feces affect the clarity of the water. I found this frustrating because there are no restrictions against humans urinating in the water, wearing chemical sunscreen, lotions, or hair products in the water, additionally boats are allowed to sit in the water all season without being lifted off the water, potentially leaking oil & chemicals....all of which harm the aquatic ecosystem. Even more surprising, we walked up the beach in the west direction some ways and found a drainage pipe that drained directly into the lake. Lake Tahoe is one of my favorite places, and I completely support keeping the water clean and healthy, but I just cannot believe that dog feces have a higher impact than all of the aforementioned contaminants. It saddens me that dogs are not being welcomed on many of the beaches, trails, and even campgrounds in Tahoe.
