It's a little complicated, though. There are three "sections" of the beach. From north to south there's a boat cove, swimming cove, and beach. Hard shell boats (including kayaks and paddle boards) are only allowed in the boat cove or the southern end of the beach. Also, the parking lot usually fills by 11:30 on a weekday and you need to catch a shuttle bus in from Incline.
I arrived at 9:45 and dropped the board at the kayak loading zone then drove around to park at the beach. I set up chairs at our chosen spot (the bluff between the swimming and boat coves, where we could see the kids playing but not be "in it" with the boats). Then I paddled north toward Incline.
This is the view looking north as I crossed the boat cove.
This is Hidden Beach, a gorgeous beach about a mile or mile and a half north of Sand Harbor. It's beautiful but looks like a long walk down from the road so not a great place to launch. I paddled past it and into Incline before turning around. There were a few boats out tubing and some jet skis, but overall not too bad and although I was out on the later side the lake was pretty smooth.
This is the view looking south as I came back to the boat cove. Mia is in a blue shirt on the rocks in the lower picture.
And, the details...
