My husband and I came to Zephyr Cove - North Beach two Thursdays ago (in March). We came here to…read morekayak and decided up this spot because it was highly recommended by the woman who owned the Airbnb that we were staying in. On the afternoon that we arrived, we were lucky that the parking kiosk was not working and the gate to enter was open, so we lucked out with free parking. But will mention that this most likely was during off season because it was pretty cold on the day of our visit (we were one of very few crazy people willing to kayak in the water on this cold day (low to mid 60's). After we parked, my husband and I pulled our foldable kayaks over to the sand. After putting our kayaks together, we launched ourselves from the sand and then were off. Initially the water nice and calm but about 30 minutes into it, the waves started to get choppy and the winds were blowing kind of hard, so we only managed to kayak for about an hour but it was a fun visit. The view from my kayak was very beautiful and serene (before the winds starting to blow harder). Please note that near this beach is dog friendly, Zephyr Shoals Beach north of Zephyr Cove Resort. But where we parked and launched our kayaks is not dog friendly. There is food sold from the concession stands and there are restrooms on this beach (but I did not use any of the restrooms, nor did I purchase any food). Also kayaks are available for rent here. Overall, we had a good visit and would consider coming back here to kayak again the next time we visit Lake Tahoe.

Want to check out Lake Tahoe and see the actual lake? You can visit Pope Beach, which is open from…read moreMemorial Day weekend through October. Pope Beach is one of several beaches located on National Forest land. When my husband and I came for a visit 2 Wednesdays ago (in March), it is during the off peak season. It has gated access for cars, in which it cost $10 (but prices increase during July 4th weekend). But we ended up parking along State Highway 89 (among other cars) and walked on the bike trail over to the beach. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed. It was nice to be able to visit this beach when it was not crowded and just watch the water (which looks to be really clean). The beach itself was very clean and this beach allows for you to swim, kayak, canoe or paddleboard. The beach does have public restrooms. There were also picnic tables and plenty of shade from the trees. Definitely a place to consider when you come to Lake Tahoe in the warmer months if you are looking for a little lake/ beach fun.

It is also a good place to see the lake and mountains from. There's a lot of seating, picnic tables, and some grass areas to sit down on. Closer to the water, there is a small sandy area where people can hang out as well. I put a 4 because parking was really difficult to find. There is a parking lot right next to the park, but it could have been that it was Labor Day Weekend, making parking more difficult. Beautiful place though, would love to visit on a less crowded time again !

This was a very special tour for my very special mom's 80th birthday. She hasn't been to Lake Tahoe…read morein 60 years, and I knew she would love being on the lake *and* a tour of Vikingsholm - she couldn't hike to/from the castle, so this cruise was the perfect tourist combination for us. Captain Stacy and Mate Katerina were gracious hosts and provided us with lots of cool Tahoe history, in-between serving us cocktails and pointing out mutliple "must-see" points of interest in Emerald Bay. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour Vikingsholm (our docent was wonderful as well), with an added bonus of seeing Eagle Falls because we had a little extra time. When we returned to the boat, Captain Stacy provided us with delicious snacks and made sure we were "fed and watered" before returning to the marina. We had considered a few other boat tours of Lake Tahoe, and I'm SO happy we chose Cruise Tahoe. It was intimate but we weren't crammed in like sardines, very professional yet laid back, and the perfect amount of time on the lake for us. Highly recommend! Side note - directions to the Tahoe Keys Marina were excellent and appreciated for us 3 directionally-challenged girls.

It was a 1-hour ride out to Emerald Bay in our gorgeous, stylish boat. We were welcomed by our 2 friendly crew members & served 2 drinks as part of the tour (wine, champagne, mimosas or beer, or one cocktail). Other cocktails were available for $9 with high-quality liquor, and non-alcoholic drinks were all free. It was so fun to visit the beautiful, luxurious castle, fully furnished and exquisitely decorated. We got to see tons of rooms, including an impressive kitchen, lovely servant's quarters, dining room, guest rooms and more. Our guide was engaging and really made us fall in love with the property and the wonderful woman that had it built. On the ride back, we were served very tasty appetizer plates and enjoyed fabulous scenery. Everyone was in high spirits because this was an amazing tour with an excellent company!

Tucked just off Highway 50 near Zephyr Cove, this scenic overlook offers a short paved path to panoramic vistas that feel like a postcard come to life. Also BONUS there is a bathroom! We visited mid-morning and found the lighting perfect for photos crisp reflections on the lake, snow-dusted peaks in the distance, and a peaceful hush that made it feel like our own private lookout. The boulder outcroppings are fun to explore, and there are a few informal trails that lead down toward the water if you're feeling adventurous (though they're a bit steep, so best for sure-footed hikers). Parking is limited to a small turnout on the southbound side, so plan accordingly. Restrooms are available in summer, which is a thoughtful touch for families. We packed a light picnic and found a quiet spot to sit and soak it all in--no crowds, no noise, just nature at its finest. Whether you're chasing the perfect photo, a quiet moment, or a scenic pause in your Tahoe loop, Logan Shoals delivers. It's one of those places that feels like a secret until you see the view and realize it's too good not to share.
