Nightlife and beach life come together perfectly in Kings Beach, thanks to the area’s downtown district being situated right along the shore. Named for a famed card shark who won the town in a game of poker, Kings Beach retains much of the fun spirit of its origin.

Tahoe City is one of the best year round locales that is teeming with activities and sights. Located near the headwaters of the Truckee River, Tahoe City offers close access to trails and parks for summer adventures, or sledding and skiing for those visiting during winter months. No matter what time of year the town is speckled with an array of restaurants, galleries, trendy shops, and museums that provide for a well-rounded trip.

Nestled on the most eastern part of the north shore, Incline Village boasts of some of the prettiest parts of the lake. Stroll the newly completed East Shore Bike Trail connecting Incline Village to Sand Harbor, and soak in breathtaking views of the lake. The town also has a variety of dining options. Head to the Lone Eagle Grill for a bite with a stunning view of the lake and after dinner check out the nightlife in the same hotel, the Hyatt Regency Resort.
