The soft sand beach at Cave Rock Sate Park is a great place for families to play in Lake Tahoe's clean and cold water. Located just past the turn-around at the south end of the parking lot, the beach is about 400 feet long and is in a small protected bay. Kayaks are launched from this beach, not the boat ramp. On a hot weekend day this beach can get a bit crowded so if you are going up on the weekend make sure to get there before 11:00 a.m. to get a choice location on the beach. The beach faces south and the afternoon sun can be intense. Bring a portable shade canopy and be sure to use some effective sunscreen. The clear sky and elevation at Lake Tahoe increases the likelihood of sunburn.

Kayaking Cave Rock State Park

Another advantage to getting to Cave Rock State Park early is the morning calm of the wind and water. The wind and waves in the afternoon make the lake water turbulent and difficult to navigate at times. As you depart the sheltered bay in your kayak paddle north for great views of Cave Rock State Park's namesake. The west side of the rock presents a nearly sheer drop to Lake Tahoe. Prior to the car tunnels being blasted through the rock the wagon train trail used the precipitous west side of Cave Rock as a road. Evidence of this road still exists today and is best viewed from the lake.
