This day-use facility is located on U.S. HWY 50, three miles south of Glennbrook, just south of the Cave Rock tunnel. There is a boat launch, a comfort station, six picnic tables and a small beach with a beautiful view. Cave Rock is one of the few areas on the east shore of Lake Tahoe where easy access is available along the waterfront. The steep shoreline drop-off makes for good lake trout fishing. And the deep waters close to shore make the two boat ramps accessible to watercraft of all sizes.
Parking is limited in the summer.
When the lot is full, vehicles and trailers must park outside the park. Sand Harbor State Park Long sandy beaches, rocky coves and panoramic lake views attract thousands of visitors to Sand Harbor on the east shore of Lake Tahoe. The Visitor Information Station provides free literature and interpretive displays on the natural history of the lake. Gently sloping beaches, crystal clear waters and interesting rock formations make excellent areas for swimming and scuba diving. There is even a special cove just for scuba diving.
