About Us
We make getting out on Lake Tahoe easy, safe, and hassle-free. Whether you’re looking for a rental, a guided tour, or a personal kayak or paddleboard of your own, our experienced staff is ready to help.
We have two beach-front rental locations at the water’s edge, both with free parking and easy access. If you’re staying in North Lake Tahoe or Truckee, please proceed on this website for paddling experiences at Tahoe City’s main town beach, “Commons Beach.” If you’re staying in South Lake Tahoe, visit our southtahoekaykak.com site for paddling experiences at South Lake’s “El Dorado Beach.”
Our family friendly location at Commons Beach in Tahoe City is the closest location to most North Tahoe’s major hotels, including the hotels in Palisades Tahoe ski resort. Commons Beach offers a shallow water launch and better natural protection from wind and waves than many other Tahoe beaches, so it’s perfect for kayakers and paddleboarders of any skill level.
This beach also offers a playground, BBQ pits, a Thursday Farmers Market, free live music performances on Sundays, and it’s within walking distance of popular restaurants.
