Beach / Buoys

Property owners in the Tahoe Cedars Tract have a deeded easement to travel down the driveway at Water's Edge Condos (across Hwy 89 from Pine Street) and access the beach there. If you need to take a car, you may drive to the bottom to drop off people and gear, but you will then need to park somewhere completely off the Water's Edge driveway. The beach is still Water's Edge property, and they have the right to enforce reasonable rules like no dogs. Please be respectful of the Water's Edge inhabitants, managers, and rules...we want to be good neighbors with Water's Edge, especially since we work together on the beach, buoys and pier. TCPOA pays for one bear box trash bin at the beach, so feel free to use it.

Our association controls twenty-one buoys in the buoy field located off the shore at Water's Edge Condos and helps maintain the pier for member use. The buoys may be reserved by any homeowner member for up to two weeks (or more as demand permits). Reservations begin March 1 and are taken on a first come, first serve basis. Completion of the Buoy Use Application is required 2 weeks prior to the reservation, or the reservation is forfeited.

New! Coming in 2012: online buoy reservations. More details to come.

Reservations begin March 1 and may not be made before.
