IVGID Beaches

Beach Access & Wristbands

The Incline Village General Improvement District (IVGID) manages four restricted-access beaches within Incline Village, Nevada, for the use of IVGID Recreation  Pass and Recreation Punch Card holders (with beach access), and their guests. Please review the access rules & restrictions for IVGID-managed beaches on the Incline Village Beaches page here.

Those with beach access can obtain a wristband upon checking in at each gate. Beach access wristbands are not available in advance.  A person must be present to receive the wristband.

July 3 – 5: No Picture Pass lookups

IVGID Pass holders must have their IVGID pass or a picture of their pass. This is to reduce wait times at the beach.
