About Kings Beach

Kings Beach is a small lake town on the north shore, built around a large public beach right in the middle of downtown. SR-267 comes down from Northstar and Truckee and meets the lakeshore highway here, which puts Northstar about 15 minutes up the hill. Downtown has its own shops and restaurants a short walk from the sand, and lodging leans toward motels, cottages, and vacation homes rather than big resorts.

Diamond Peak is about 15 minutes the other way along the shore through Crystal Bay, and Mt. Rose is about 25 minutes out past Incline Village. Kings Beach State Recreation Area is the center of town: a day-use park with a large sandy beach, picnic tables under the Jeffrey pines, and a playground. The Nevada line is about a mile east, so the Crystal Bay casinos are close if you want a night out. It's a casual base without a resort hotel scene, and Tahoe City's restaurants are about 20 minutes west along the shore. SR-267 crosses Brockway Summit on the way to Northstar, so build in extra time on storm days.
