North Shore · Kings Beach

Secline Beach

A creek, some shade trees and a strip of sand that most visitors drive straight past.

The One Without a Sign

Kings Beach's Quiet Cousin

Tucked behind a gas station at the end of Secline Street in Kings Beach, this small pocket beach has none of the infrastructure of its famous neighbor a few blocks away — just a little creek mouth, a stand of trees for shade, and a modest strip of sand that rarely sees a crowd.

There's nothing to rent and nothing to buy here, which is exactly the appeal. It's the spot locals mention when someone asks for "somewhere quieter than Kings Beach that's still walkable."

DogsOften allowed; keep them leashed and pack out everything
Best forQuiet mornings, escaping the Kings Beach crowds, a picnic in the shade
Keep it that way: This beach stays pleasant because so few people bother finding it — pack out every scrap of trash, and don't expect (or need) any facilities. If it's full or you can't find parking, North Tahoe Beach and Kings Beach are both a short drive away.
