HIDDEN BEACH NEVADA Along Lake Tahoe’s east shore is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places on the entire lake, the aptly named Hidden Beach. A bona fide North Shore jewel, Hidden Beach provides the clear blue waters, sun-warmed granite boulders and low-key, mellow vibe that makes it seem miles away from the crowded public hoopla of many beach outings.
Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, family fun, or a serene day of beachside relaxation, there is nothing like experiencing the beauty of this secluded shoreline with a Hidden Beach boat rental from Tahoe Bliss Boat Charters.
Why Hidden Beach for Lake Tahoe Boating?
Hidden Beach certainly earns its name. You can reach this crescent cove by water or a short walk along the East Shore Trail, and it slides away in the distance past smooth granite boulders, turquoise-blue shallows and pine-fringed cliffs. It's one of the few “locals only”-style spots, quiet, scenic, and often less crowded than some of Tahoe’s bigger beaches.
At Tahoe Bliss, we like to take our guests to Hidden Beach because it’s so pretty and it’s well off the beaten path, with great swimming and snorkeling, and with a relaxed energy that's perfect for anchoring, sun bathing, or having a picnic on board.
Our Hidden Beach boat rentals provide fully private, captained outings that empower you to experience Lake Tahoe the way you want to. We cruise from the pickup location of your choice (may possibly include Incline Village or Sand Harbor) directly to Hidden Beach in style.
What to Expect:
Cushionsuits and lots of shade
Bluetooth speaker systems for all your favorite tunes
Paddleboards, floats and Snorkeling gear provided
Your own local, Coast Guard licensed captain at the helm to guide and tailor your day
You’ll drop anchor just off shore, enjoy unimpeded views of the passing granite shoreline, float in the warmth of the sun and swim in some of the clearest water Tahoe has to offer.

Things to Do at Hidden Beach
Less developed than the expansive public beaches on the lake, Hidden Beach is why people love Tahoe. The following are some of our favorite things to do when visiting by boat:
Swimming & Snorkeling
The peaceful, pristine waters around Hidden Beach are perfect for swimming and snorkeling. You will frequently see trout and bass weaving between boulders, and there’s great underwater visibility in calm conditions.
Sunbathing on the Boulders
Sun-warmed granite boulders that rim the beach provide natural lounge chairs with sunset views. Reel in your float or climb out onto a rock and soak in the serenity.
Picnic On Board
Our boat rentals come with a cooler and a lot of room for snacks and drinks. Pack your own favorite local nibbles or let us arrange for you to coordinate with gourmet delis in the area for a more upscale lakeside picnic.
Paddleboarding
Because of the generally tranquil water, Hidden Beach is a paddleboarder’s dream. Whistle around the cove or explore little nooks and crannies of shoreline, or just float about and relax.
Where to Eat Nearby
Although there are no food vendors on Hidden Beach itself (that’s part of the charm!), there are more than a few wonderful options just a short drive or boat ride away:
Lone Eagle Grille (Incline Village)
Fine dining overlooking the lake, featuring seafood and upscale mountain fare.
Tunnel Creek Café
Perfect post-beach fare of fresh coffee, sandwiches and smoothies right at the trailhead of the East Shore Trail.
T’s Mesquite Rotisserie
Home of the massive burritos and tacos, this locals’ spot in Incline Village is great for takeout before or after boating.
Alibi Ale Works (Incline Public House)
Craft beer and high-end bar food to relax at after your boat day.
How to Access Hidden Beach
Access to Hidden Beach is two-fold.
By Boat (Highly Recommended)
The best way to visit Hidden Beach is catching it by water. With a Hidden Beach boat tour, no parking frustration, no crowds, and VIP treatment for this idyllic beach!
By Foot
For those on land, Hidden Beach is a short walk or bike off the East Shore Trail, a two-way paved path that connects Incline Village to Sand Harbor. Parking is minimal off Highway 28, and there’s a short walk to reach them.
