Burnt Cedar Beach

What a beautiful venue … And could be a great place to go if it was managed well. Arrived at 10:10 to find pool closed until noon for lessons. Bad planning on our part so we made the best of it by playing in the grassy park and eating lunch early. Park area was nice but the beach is very rocky due to low water.
Bar pool service was excellent as was upstairs bar; drinks were tasty but the ladies In the snack shop could use some customer service lessons. They may have been stressed because they were running out of many of the lunch menu options by noon. We wondered what they were going to do about food for those wanting to eat after noon?
The pool opened promptly at noon but we were told the slide was off limits until 2 pm. We waited … Again … To find the pool and slide was open at 2 pm for ONLY adults. I would understand if this was a legitimate use of services… but for one adult in the corner of the pool and another one doing laps in front of the slide? Children were all lined up on the sides of the pool and a lined formed in front of the slide just For ONE adult to do laps In The ENTIRE pool? Wow. Poor management decision. Maybe rope off far side of the pool for those adults wishing to swim laps and leave other half open for slide use and children to swim!!!

This beach is located in Incline Village and has a lot to offer. It is a private beach, but we were able to get in for $ 12 for adults because we were staying at the Parkside Inn. The stretch of beach was small, but nice and calm. There were a lot of rocks so bring appropriate shoes to wear in the water. There was a huge green lawn that stretched out into the lake and many people were using it to sunbathe. In addition, there was a playground.
One of the features that we especially liked was that it had a pool. The pool area included a full locker room and upstairs food options. The pool looked so inviting, but there were two problems: 1) the pool was not open for free swim until noon (M-​TH) due to swim lessons and 2) the pool was COLD! A sign said the temperature was 84 degrees in the main pool, but I have been in enough pools in my life to tell you that was not true! The worst part was that the kiddie pool was labeled as «almost as warm as your bath.» Uh — NO! At least not the type of bath that I am used to! It was just as cold as the big pool. In fact, the lake was much warmer. In the area where kids played in the lake it was bath temperature. Of course the farther out, the colder the lake got.
After swim lessons, they put in lane lines for ½ the pool, which is fine if you want to lap swim. By the time we left the area a couple of hours later, they had changed the configuration again and opened a slide into the pool.
Overall, I do give this beach a 4 due to its numerous features. but the pool itself gets a 2! The lifeguards need to check the thermometer — it must be broken!

This is a private beach for Incline Village residents, so you will need a card to get in. I came here a few times when I was younger and this weekend, just recently got a chance to go back again for the Fourth of July. There is a bar, snack area, kiddie pool, swimming pool, jacuzzi, playground, etc, super family friendly. The beach has great views. We came during the daytime and the views of the mountains were amazing. After we realized that this would be a great place to lay camp for the fireworks, we went back home to get a picnic blanket, food and drinks. When we came back, the sun was setting and the scenery was even more breathtaking. The sky turns into ombres of beautiful colors. Literally could stare at it for hours… also note that I’m a HUGE sucker for anything scenic. The fireworks were from afar and were low and pretty small. The city that I live in does fireworks like no one’s business so maybe I’m just blessed with that and that’s why these fireworks seemed a little lackluster? But no complaints because who can be mad at watching fireworks on the sandy beach without having a ton of other people hovering over you.
Also…sorry that my entire review is basically about the scenery but definitely check out the night sky and stars if you get the chance. So breathtaking and unlike anything you’ll get in the city.

This is our favorite family-​friendly beach in Tahoe! It has swimming pools for adults and kids, lots of grassy picnic areas with tables, BBQ’s and a nice beach front area for swimming and sunning. A nice snack bar and beach front cocktail waitresses :) A little of everything!!!

Gorgeous. Definitely worth the drive up. The water was cold at first, but not overpowering cold. You adjust pretty quickly after wading around. This beach has coarse sand, which feels nice, but there are sharpish rocks on the lake bottom, so bring water shoes if you care for the comfort of your feet. It is a private beach, reserved for those staying at Incline Village, but if you are nice, the guard might let you in!

Really nice private beach for residents of Incline Village. Our rental offered us a guest pass so we decided to go and see what the hype was about. The pass only gets the PRIVILEGE to pay. It was $ 12 for each adult, and $ 4 for kids. Our twins were free. Whew! You can bring what you want to eat/​drink inside with coolers. We brought our umbrella and chairs as the lounge chairs by the beach were all gone.
They have a nice pool area with «adult only» swim times in the big pool all the kids get out and the adults get 15 min to swim!
They do have a toddler area with a big sign talking about diapers and fecal matter — yeah, that kept me out of that pool — but my husband took our twins in there and said the water was awfully warm! Yuck!
Another star for the full bar for those of you that FORGET to bring your own stuff. We only brought beer in and I was dying for a margarita ($ 10). The server gals also come out to the beach to check on you if you need any drinks or food.
There is also a snack shop too if you forget food.
Overall, great beach and clean with nice clean bathrooms. I guess that’s where our admission price goes!

What a place! I’ve been going to Tahoe for practically my whole life and have never experienced a beach like this before.
This is a locals only beach available to those who reside in Incline Village. Luckily, we have family with some property there so we were able to tag along and get in. We arrived at about 10 am on a Sunday morning, which seems like the latest you should get there if you want a chance at a bench or some lounge chairs. Yes, this beach has lounge chairs! There’s also a pool/​kiddie pool (click for pool schedule
), a bar and grill, and a place to rent kayaks, paddle boats, paddle boards, and other water sports equipment. The bar even has cocktail waitresses come around the beach and deliver right to you!
The view is just gorgeous, as always, the water is clear, and there’s a great roped off swimming section that’s calm and shallow for playing in. There are also large grass sections if you’d prefer that to sand, as well beach volley ball, really nice BBQs, clean bathrooms, and a playground for the kids (and adults too; get on the swings and enjoy the lake view at the same time! It’s awesome).
This beach seriously has it all and I cannot wait to come back!
Tl:dr– If you can, get yourself into BCB this summer. It’s a paradise in paradise!

One of three private Residents Only beaches in beautiful Incline Village, NV. You must have a resident’s pass or guest pass to enter — this is strictly controlled during peak season. That said, this is a park that is beautifully maintained with a swimming pool, a beachy cove, clean bathrooms, snack bar and BBQ grills. There are some lounge chairs but bring your own umbrella. It’s so photogenic that you’ll see a lot of wedding portraits done here. No dogs allowed except the official goose chaser dogs — LOL.

Amazing beach facility! Has an on site bar for those mommies and daddies who want a drink ;0) as well as a snack bar too
There is a nice pool with separate kiddie pool available for those who don’t want to experience the Tahoe Lake water.
