Thomas F Regan Memorial City Beach

What a beautiful, unexpected find! The views are literally what you would see on a post card. A must visit destination! My 3 year old enjoyed exploring the seashells and blue waters. Cute little beach!

(Lakeview & Sacramento)
*********************************************
BEST Puppy Friendly Beach/​water park !!! Clean & Big !
Nice sand, good parking, stocked puppy clean up stations.
The off leash portion of the beach may not be that big but with the Water being SO low you & the pups can easily go out about 50 yards ! That gives you so much more play room ;D
Ok — a tiny negative — with the water level so low, there is a little mud. Just a little.
LOVE THIS PLACE ! We all do ;D
(9÷9÷14−9÷10÷14)

Dog friendly beach! It was perfect for us and our pooch! Lake level was a low when we went, but still great for an evening stroll. Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.

So we had just gotten from Stateline from Reno and wanted to see Lake Tahoe and stop! (The US 50 did not have a stop where you could see it brilliantly/​road stop) from the ³⁹⁵⁄₅₀ Carson City junction to Stateline). Looking at the map, I ventured off US 50 and came to this small beach a few blocks down. Completely incidental.
There’s a lot of parking here (two street lengths of parking) and you can walk all the way to Lake Tahoe and actually dip your feet in. Part of it is a dog part so you can bring your dog as well.
On a non-​cloudy day, I wonder how it would have looked.
Oh btw not like the beaches that we have in Socal, in case you were wondering. Way quieter (:

Nice beach, a few facilities. It actually wasn’t super crowded which was wonderful.

I don’t really recommend this beach for bathing and swimming, mainly because you will walk a few miles before it is deep enough for any of that. However it is equipped with a dog beach, which is awesome for my fur baby and it has public restrooms, a nice grassy picnic area, a volley ball pit, a few nice benches for sitting down to daydream as well as a snack/​food hut with really well made food, tacos, burgers, hot dogs and local ice cream etc. There is also plenty of free parking! I actually got married on the platform above the beach too, this area is a very popular wedding destination because of the beautiful view and lawn for wedding setups. I almost forgot the safe little kids playground that my 2 year old daughter especially loves. Watch the sunset here, it is gorgeous!

The boys & I have been enjoying this beach for years. It has restrooms, picnic area, sup boards to rent, BBQ area & the BEST part is the little shop that sells ice cream. The only draw back is because of its central location its always packed. The beach was pretty dirty today which is sad. Wish people could love nature back by respecting enough to take their trash wt them. This will probably be the last time we visit this location.

This was a nice place to stop and take pictures. There was a part that dogs were allowed. It was a little sad to see the water had receded a lot. There was a play area for the kids and also nice place to walk. Great place to stop and take pictures.

This beach is going to be our first stop on the way into Tahoe for now on to the let dog blow off some steam from being in the car for a few hours. The dog portion of the beach isn’t huge, but our dog loved running around in the water with all of the other dogs. We’ll definitely be back to make a day out of it next time!

A great spot to visit. Classic lake beach scene. They sell ice cream and milk shakes in the summer. Check it.

Is there a beach in Tahoe that suxs? Not as far as I am concerned! Thomas F. Regan beach really surprised me. The view took my breath away, as like the others I visited, it was clean and the people there were very friendly. I was not disappointed in anyway. It was off season and too cold to swim, however the water is so clear and I can’t wait to get in it on another trip to Tahoe.

Winter review: A wonderful little beach with gorgeous views of Lake Tahoe — great for taking some scenic pictures & letting your dog run wild and play!
Off leash dog friendly on one end of it (the other end isn’t) — so best if your dog is under voice control at all times. My dog ran toward the non-​dog side of it a couple of times, and the people there got a little freaked out.
When there’s snow, you can do a little bit of snow sledding, but when we were there this weekend there wasn’t much of a slope to the snow, so the sledding was pretty low-​speed and short. The beach isn’t very wide, so you could easily sled into the water if you pick the wrong spot and sled too fast — but at least for us it wasn’t a problem.

Off leash dog friendly! And we ran into another off leash pup (also under 1.5 yrs) and they had a ball running on the sand and into the water and around the bushes and up the rocks. Best beach we went to in all of our time at Lake Tahoe!

I was just married here on 9÷14÷13. OMG!!! BEST DECISION EVER!!! THE view was amazing. the locatuon was beautiful. Intimate. Omg. I reccommend this to anyone wanting a beautiful, private wedding ceremony in South Lake Tahoe. We were narried by Reverend Robert Orr. He was fabulous. I am nore than pleased!!! Cannot wait for the pictures! !!

Great place to make a quick stop for pictures. Plenty of parking and great views. And a nice little park and picnic area!

I love this park. It is close to my family’s cabin in South Lake Tahoe, so we walk down here often. I would have given it 5 stars if they hadn’t taken out the playground. My kids were very disappointed about that. We are hoping that there is a plan to replace it!
I also love walking along the trail towards the casinos. It is possible to walk all the way! There is big effort to «beautify» the area, and the ampitheater they installed by Highway 50 is fantastic! Bring your shovels and pails because this is a perfect sandy beach.

Wow, this city beach was nice and plenty of room to roam around and get some well needed exercise. Plenty of locations to take pictures of the crystal clear Lake Tahoe and it was incredible to see no one on the water during this beautiful season. The walking trails went up and down the beach and there was an actual sandy area that is probably used more in the summer time. Parking was abundant and aside from a lot of orange construction equipment laying around it was a great place to go for some peace and quiet.

So beautiful! I am getting married here in August, and could not be happier. It is secluded, beautiful, shady, and has ample parking. The wedding area is so pretty — I feel very lucky!

WEDDING VENDOR REVIEW
A lot of people don’t know this park exists — it’s quite hidden! We had our wedding ceremony here, at a small strip of land at the north end of the park/​beach. It’s owned by the City of South Lake Tahoe, so you’ll have to go through their Parks and Rec department. Apparently this place is quite popular for weddings, there’s even a small square of paved bricks to serve as the «altar». :) as you’d expect at any park, there’s no electricity available.
I’m giving this 2 different ratings:
3 STARS — The Parks and Rec department are not very good with e-​mails. E-​mails often went unanswered for more than several weeks. I deal primarily with e-​mails, so it was hard for me to pick up the phone and call them. Halfway through my wedding planning, the guy in charge retired and no one told me. As a result, when I tried to get in touch with them, I had to chase people down to find out who the replacement was. (Note: the City of South Lake Tahoe seems to have revamped their website and there’s a better description of this specific area, as well as a contact person name.)
5 STARS — you CANNOT beat the view!!! My guests were in absolute awe of the view behind us as my husband and I stood at the altar. I think half of them didn’t pay attention to us, they were too busy enjoying the scenery! And for the price I paid, I could NOT have asked for a better place! (In other words, it was CHEAP!) when we got our wedding photos back, we were gobsmacked at how gorgeous everything looked — not because we looked brilliant, but because of the scenery! :)
I’ll average that up and call this a 4 star review :)

A fun spot to do a little sledding. It’s situated right on the beach so if you get too much speed you could end up in the frigid water.
Parking is plentiful and it’s only a short walk from the lot to the snow covered sand. It’s easy to get to and only a few minute drive from HWY-​50. Stay off the private property and you’ll have a great time.
Only cons I saw were that the restrooms were closed and it can get pretty busy.
