MY KINGS BEACH FAVORITES and RECOMMENDATIONS
Kings Beach Close-by Sightseeing
Only the closest Kings Beach spots are included in this section. For additional sightseeing in surrounding areas I recommend checking out the "Best Lake Tahoe Day Hikes" book and other resources provided in the house or the North Tahoe Visitor's Center.
Expansive lake views all along the trail. Hike in either direction on the Tahoe Rim Trail. For a relatively short (1.5 miles) and extremely satisfying hike I recommend hiking east (up the hill from the parking) to the "View Point" rock outcropping.

Parking can be tough in the tight neighborhood, but this beach is definitely worth a visit for iconic Lake Tahoe boulders in clear water views. This spot is world famous for Stand Up Paddle Boarding.

Easy access for a stroll on the lake shore, sunset or sunrise views from the large public dock, or beach blanket. Walking access to most of the restaurants and stores.

Nice sandy beach tucked back from the road. The dunes are unique to this beach and not found in other areas of the lake.

A personal favorite for the pebbles and tumbled rocks.
Kings Beach Restaurants
These are spots I frequent within Kings Beach. If you are looking to celebrate a special occasion or have a "higher end" meal check out the "Special Occasion Restaurants" section for places that I recommend in neighboring towns.
Great Pizza, fresh salads, apps, beer and wine. Views from the back patio and top deck. FYI you can substitute the sauce on any pizza, so if you see one that you like but it has white sauce you can swap for the marinera. Definitely start with the warm olives and the brussel sprouts. Both are amazing.

Old-school Italian. Big plates. They have re-vamped the menu to be an bit more fresh and "Californian" while keeping the old-school vibes. The bar is classic. Good spot to watch an important sports event if you want to go out.

Venues
Kings Beach's most active venue. We get some amazing shows through here so it's worth checking the schedule. The only downside is you have to walk through the smoke in the casino to get to the showroom.

Special Occasion Restaurants
Other than Soule Domain in Kings Beach, I cannot recommend any higher end restaurants in Kings Beach. Restaurants in this section are personal favorites and are located in neighboring towns within 20 minutes drive.

Grocery Stores
Kings Beach has three markets that are within a few blocks of the house. I've included a proper "health food store" in a neighboring town at the end of the list.
Safeway

Small, relaxed and right across from the lake. Has most of the essentials, organic produce, juice/smoothie/sandwich bar, and a great beer, wine, and cider selection.
