They don’t call the West Shore of Lake Tahoe the “best shore” for nothing. With some of Tahoe’s most famous old mansions, picturesque beaches, and Old Tahoe neighborhoods, the West Shore is a local’s favorite. Stretching all the way from the “Y” in Tahoe City to Meeks Bay and Rubicon to the south, staying in a West Shore vacation rental or ski lease gives you easy access to all the things that make Tahoe great.
In the winter, there’s cross-country skiing on the West Shore’s trails or skiing and snowboarding at nearby resorts like Homewood Mountain Resort and Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley).
In the summer, you can bike or jog the bike path, mountain bike to Paige Meadows, hike up Blackwood Canyon, and enjoy all aspects of Big Blue – swimming, boating, and paddling. With beaches and restaurants at Sunnyside and Chamber’s Landing in Homewood, there’s always a place to enjoy the lake on the West Shore.
