Incline Beach is the main sandy beach in Incline Village, restricted to IVGID pass holders and their guests. There's a swimming area, several picnic spots, a playground, and a launch for paddleboards and kayaks. It sits on Lakeshore Boulevard near the center of town.
A clean, well-kept town beach with room to launch a board, but access is limited to passes.
How we score beachesPaddle out early, before the afternoon wind shows up, for glassy water along the Incline shoreline.
A lot on Lakeshore Boulevard for pass holders; it fills on summer weekends.
A short walk from the lot leads to the sand and picnic areas.
Summer is when the swimming area and launch are busiest. The lake here stays cold until July.
