Highly popular with both locals and tourists, Pope Beach is one of the top spots to visit on the south shore of Lake Tahoe at any time of year. Dogs aren't allowed here and parking comes at a cost, but there's a lot to love at Pope Beach and it's highly suitable for a wide array of activities including the classics of sunbathing and swimming, as well as more unique options like kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding. There's a boat ramp for anyone who wants to set sail on the waters of Lake Tahoe and this beach also has its own bar and grill serving up tasty snacks and refreshing drinks that really hit the spot on a sunny summer day. What's more, this beach also hosts live music concerts throughout the summer months, so there's a real party atmosphere here for large parts of the year.
