Kings Beach State Recreation Area — Attraction in Incline Village-Crystal Bay

The sand is full of sticks, rocks, and other types of things, it hurts to walk bare foot, and the sand is piping hot. The water is still beautiful but there are other beaches a couple miles north that are alot better. This one is also very crowded and not much sand space for that crowd, but this is because this beach offers kayaking, paddle boarding, biking, jet skiing etc..... I'd still come back, the experience is not bad, there's just better beaches than this one. We were here for the 4th of July 2019 and the fireworks show was amazing.

The trash isn't the fault of the park, they really are doing a great job to keep Tahoe clean, it's just that the people using the park should do their...

We visit this beach a lot, but this is the first time we came for the music on the beach Friday summer events. We always try to avoid crowds, and the amount of visitors and vehicles has been overwhelming since 2016 and summer is usually the worst. This evening, the air quality is yellow; temperature is tolerable for our dogs; and we can enjoy the lake without a mask on. I'm glad we came. The crowd was small. Street parking was easy. We got some yummy food from the food stands, enjoyed the music and the beautiful view of lake with our dogs. After the last few years with California burning and the on going pandemic, we are grateful to able to enjoy this. I know everyone else on the beach is. Lets keep parks clean and lake...
