Strung along the East Shore between Incline Village and Sand Harbor, Hidden Beach is a series of sandy pockets and granite outcrops that the locals have loved for decades. The shallow, sun-warmed water here is noticeably milder than the open lake, which makes it a favorite for wading and lazy summer afternoons.
The boulders draw a steady stream of rock-jumpers, and the lack of any developed facilities keeps the vibe casual. It's a quick stop off Highway 28 if you'd rather skip the Sand Harbor entrance line.
