As one of the most photographed places on Lake Tahoe, this bay has vibrant blue-green waters and panoramic views of Fannette Island, Eagle Falls, and Vikingsholm Castle. Parts of the lake are shallow and family-friendly, although it is also roped-off for extra protection from boats and jet skiers. This beach is definitely one of the more scenic places to spend a summer day. Play in the waters, sunbathe on the sandy beach, or simply enjoy the picturesque surroundings of South Lake Tahoe.
