Commons Beach Park, located on the Lake in downtown Tahoe City, is popular for sunbathing, swimming and picnicking. This park features: group picnic sites, children's playgrounds, and benches near its large lakefront grass and sand area.
Recently funds were devoted to the rehabilitation of Commons Beach. It is being renhanced to accommodate environmental restoration, protection, and public access. Commons has served many purposes for the community from a transportation hub with shipping and train tracks, to private commercial enterprises, to a local post office, jail, firehouse, and finally a community park.
During the summer, visitors will find the Farmers' Market at this beach on Thursday mornings, live music on Sunday afternoons, through September 6th.
