The North Shore Lake Tahoe area starts just south of Incline Village, NV and runs north through the CA/NV stateline entering into the CA side. As you enter California you pass through the beach community of Kings Beach and continue through Tahoe Vista, Carnelian Bay, Dollar Hill and into Tahoe City. From Tahoe City you head south along the West Side of the lake. The North Shore ends at Sunnyside and the West Shore region begins.
