The beach at sugar pine point state park is primarily sand, and is located within the historic zone, near the popular pine lodge mansion. Its size varies with the water level of lake tahoe.

Two portions of the beach are located north and south of the mouth of general creek. The north portion is accessed thru the Z'berg preserve north of the historic zone, and the south beach is accessed from the lawn near the mansion itself. The beaches can also be accessed by boat and a pier is available for briefly loading and unloading.

Paid parking spots available at east end of Ca State Park Rd.
