Pope Beach is located on the southern shore of Lake Tahoe and stand sout for the huge swathes of tall pine trees that can be found just off the beach itself. All of these huge trees offer nice little pockets of shade on the beach, so this is a great option for people who want to enjoy the beauty of Lake Tahoe without burning up or risking sunstroke on a summer day.
There's nothing quite like sitting in the shade of a tall pine tree and looking out over the lake, admiring the glimmering reflections on its surface and the distant mountains beyond. Lots of benches and picnic tables are found at this Lake Tahoe beach too, so there's always a comfortable spot to sit down. Kayaks and paddleboards can be rented at Pope Beach as well, offering a fun option for visitors who really want to get out on the water and experience Lake Tahoe in a very special way.
