"This year-round resort has snowmobiling, horseback riding, a beach and a marina, and two solid dining options. From late spring to early fall, the spot to be at is the very popular Sunset Beach Bar & Grille. Because it faces west, Zephyr Cove might just be one of the best spots in Lake Tahoe to watch the sunset behind the mountains. Just find a home base under one of the umbrellas, and your server will bring you whatever your heart desires (as long as that is a frozen drink and pub fare). There is also a deck with umbrellas that feels like a 24/7 beach party. If you need a break from the sun, but still want the fun, the Zephyr Cove Restaurant (open year-round) still has lake views, but in a quaint space with Old Tahoe vibes, including a stone fireplace, a full bar, and a menu of casual American classics." - Julie Brown Davis
