About Kings Beach

Set right on the sunny north shore of Lake Tahoe, Kings Beach is a relaxed community with an easygoing, sandy-beach feel. With roughly 3,500 year-round residents, the town centers around its popular shoreline, where locals spend summer days paddleboarding and relaxing by the water. Because Kings Beach sits directly on the California-Nevada border next to Crystal Bay, heading across state lines for dinner or entertainment is simply part of the local routine.

Downtown Kings Beach, CA

For commuters and skiers, the location is hard to beat. Highway 267 connects directly to Northstar, downtown Truckee, and Interstate 80, making winter trips to the slopes or travel into Reno convenient. Local families are served by the well-regarded Tahoe-Truckee Unified School District. With great lake access, nearby mountain recreation, and a friendly, laid-back atmosphere, Kings Beach is an inviting home base for year-round mountain living.
