Cisco Beach

Clear-water east-shore beach, rockier and quieter than the south shore

Cisco Beach sits on Bear Lake's east shore, where the water is often brilliantly clear and the shoreline feels more open than at the developed south end. The beach is rockier than Rendezvous, so water shoes are useful, but the setting is excellent.

This is a good choice if you want to swim, paddle, or sit by the water without quite so much resort-town bustle. Facilities are simpler, and wind can come up quickly in the afternoon, so treat it as a lake-beach day rather than a guaranteed lazy float.
