I've written before about my love for Sand Harbor, one of the most stunning beaches we've ever found, surprisingly located in the state of Nevada! We are not the only ones who feel this way. To get a parking spot for a day at the beach, you must get to Sand Harbor by 8:00 am. Good thing, staying in Incline Village, we were literally minutes away from it! We snagged our spot and enjoyed an 8 hour Beach Day, hiking around the boardwalks, exploring hidden swimming holes and caves, kayaking, floating, and eating our daily ice cream in this little slice of heaven.
I'm sorry that pictures can't even capture the hundred shades of blue and turquoise that melt together in this breathtaking beach!
Some sweet church friends loaned us their inflatable kayak for the trip and it was the perfect way to explore all those pretty coves. Everyone took a turn, the kayak staying in use almost all day. The water here is crystal clear and full of boulders. It was legit hard to tell if we were going to hit boulders or sail right over them. Depth perception is hard when you can see clear to the bottom!
The only thing about the Sand Harbor water is that it is cold and not the best to swim in. But, that is nothing new for us. Floating on a tube gives you the perfect way to cool off without having to submerge in the icy lake water. We even hooked our two tubes up to the kayak at one point and had Dave, the power rower, tow us out to a boulder island to lay on and soak up some sun!
We always love climbing those big boulders to find the secret swimming holes!
We ended our day at the beach with a new set of sore muscles from all the rowing, and a bit of sunburn, but also with that golden parking pass still in our possession...which we used again at night to catch the sunset from this best spot on the lake!
