Turqoise Beach in the Mountains of Lake Tahoe

Many people miss out on the best beaches of Lake Tahoe. It's both a challenge to find parking and to hike down/backup to/from the location. On top off that, they're clothing optional, so you've got to have an open mind. But what a reward if you do make it! You can have your very own private beach.
