Sand Harbor
turquoise shallows and granite boulders on the Nevada side
Sand Harbor is one of the places Roamward flags on the Lake Tahoe Loop because it gives the drive its texture: turquoise shallows and granite boulders on the Nevada side. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
