Tahoe City Commons Beach

400 North Lake Blvd, Tahoe City, CA 96145


Commons Beach is a great spot for the entire family. This four-plus-acre park is located on the lake in downtown Tahoe City. Commons Beach is popular for sunbathing, swimming, and picnicking. Group picnic sites and children's playgrounds are located within a large lakefront grass and sand area.

The park boasts a group barbecue area that can accommodate up to 75 people and an amphitheater that will seat another 65.  Each of these areas and other outdoor venues is available to rent through the Tahoe City Public Utility District.

In the summer, Commons Beach is the home of FREE Concerts at Commons every Sunday afternoon and FREE Movies on the Beach every Wednesday night.  A great family spot.
