From the Lake Tahoe World / Places
Chimney Beach
Chimney Beach is a walk-in sandy cove on National Forest land south of Sand Harbor. A surviving stone chimney gives the shoreline its name and a tangible historical detail.

Keep exploring Lake Tahoe with our travel partners.
The chimney is a reminder of a caretaker's cabin that once stood by the lake. Around it, a small beach and rocky shoreline offer a compact setting for a lake visit. The descent makes this a more involved stop than the developed beaches, especially when carrying picnic or swimming gear.
