10 miles south of Tahoe City and 8 Miles North of Emerald Bay on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. There is a daily parking fee, ranging from $6-10, depending on the time of year.


The office opens at 8am and they DO check your parking passes.


Lake Tahoe is considered an altitude dive as it at about 6,200 elevation. Shore entry with a buoy line about 100 yards out, so motorized vehicles are supposed to stay out (I have see jet skis within the buoys though).


It’s only about 10-12 ft deep at the buoys, but, there is a sloping drop off. I went over 100 ft deep and never even saw the bottom.


At 35+ ft. you can sometimes see Crawdads and small fish, lots of old tree limbs.


Be careful of swimmers from the shore to the buoys and make sure you give yourself room on the beach, as others will close in on you.


Good place for a beginner to dive or some new who wants to practice skills.
