Dreaming of a wedding on the beach? There’s nothing more romantic than a beautiful ceremony on the sand. But don’t think all beach weddings need to be held on a tropical island. Some of the most stunning beach weddings take place in South Lake Tahoe, with a beautiful backdrop of snow-capped mountains and the crystal blue waters of Lake Tahoe. Here are a few of our favorite venues for a wedding on the beach.

You haven’t experienced the true beauty of Lake Tahoe until you’ve seen it from the shores just a few steps outside the Beach Retreat & Lodge at Tahoe. Picture an intimate wedding ceremony on the pier, exchanging vows with only your closest family and friends as witnesses. Or a larger affair on the soft sands of the Beach Retreat & Lodge beach, where you can exchange vows and take in the beauty of the surrounding lake.
