Description:
If you're in Tahoe on a warm summer's day, it would be a crime not to spend it outside. Save the casinos and nightclubs for after sunset. Whether you want to be on the water (jet skiing, parasailing, kayaking or rafting), hiking or just lounging on a beach, Tahoe offers a wealth of opportunities. Thrill-seekers, vacationing families and couples on a romantic weekend will all find the perfect way to spend their day in Lake Tahoe.

Take a wander, then pop into Tahoe City for a snack and shopping.
Description:
Near Tahoe City, King's Beach is a must for anyone traveling to Tahoe during the summer. A sand beach as well as its easy access to water sports like kayaking, boating, jet skiing and parasailing make it one of the area's most popular summertime destinations. The beach features 700 feet of lake frontage area as well as Ponderosa Pine and small brush. Lake Tahoe is the second-deepest lake in all of the United States (second only to Oregon's Crater Lake) and is known for the clarity of its water and the beauty of its surrounding mountains. There is no better way to get aquainted with Lake Tahoe than a stroll down the beach and a dip in the water. The park is located twelve miles northeast of Tahoe City on Highway 28.

Great open-air venue and fun performances in a truly beautiful setting.
Description:
The Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival is the premiere summer event at the lake. It takes place on what is called "the most scenic venue in the world": the beautiful beaches of Sand Harbor State Park, just south of Incline Village, NV.
Each year the festival offers one to two plays. One for adults and families and one for children. The actors and performances are top-knotch.
The festival starts in mid July and goes until mid August. Tickets are available at several levels including Premium, Lower Gallery Reserved and Upper Gallery. No matter where you sit though, you will get a great view of the lake, the stage and you will be able to dip your toes into the beach sand.
Refreshments are available at the park from several vendors, but most visitors bring their own food and drink. Wine and champagne are popular. Be sure to bring a blanket or a sweater; when the sun goes down it can get chilly.
Parking is available at the Sand Harbor Park parking lot, but get there early to get good parking and good seating if you do not have a reserved seat.
