On our trip to Tahoe two summers ago, we found the best beach I've ever played on-- Sand Harbor on the Nevada side of the lake. I have not stopped thinking about the fun time we had there, and honestly, much of this trip back to Tahoe was just an excuse to revisit this beautiful beach!
What makes Sand Harbor special is the crystal clear, blue-green water dotted with these huge boulders. The boulders are fun to climb and they make natural swimming holes that feel like your own private pool on the beach. Our state's drought did have the lake's landscape looking different this year. Our favorite swimming hole, which was pretty deep the last time we visited, held just a few inches of water in it this year. Compare and contrast for yourself!
The big story of this day was the Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) we rented for 3 hours. The coves at Sand Harbor are the perfect place to SUP-- there is lots of pretty stuff to paddle around and explore and little deep water or waves. In fact, after both Dave and I had taken turns, Ella wanted to give it a go...and then she didn't get off for the rest of the day!
What fun we had letting Ella paddle us around Sand Harbor! She said this was one of her favorite things that she did all summer!
Delia took a few rides on the SUP, and did try it herself with Dave's guidance, but her happy place was on the beach catching crawdads with a gaggle of other kids she quickly befriended.
We stayed at this beach for over 7 hours! Considering my hubby tolerates the beach, but doesn't love it, this is a testament to what a special spot of Lake Tahoe this is!
