Commons Beach was redone and brought to life in the 2006 year, With it's new face lift it is a great spot to drop right out of downtown Tahoe City through beautiful rock starewells to a large grassy area with playgrounds and nice BBQ areas. There's even a toddlers climbing rock complete with slight overhangs for young teens. Part of the restoration included trucking in tons of sand, so don't let the pictures fool you. This isn't a great swimming beach, it's a bit rocky for that, but there is plenty for kids to do and it definitely is a pleasant diversion from a day in Tahoe City's shops.
