Top 10 Things to Do in Kings Beach This Summer
Quick Read: Summer in Kings Beach is pure magic. We know how much you want to make the most of those sunny days, so we’ve rounded up the best ways to fill your time. Whether you’re into adventure, relaxation, or a little bit of both, this guide will help you plan the ultimate North Lake Tahoe getaway. Let’s dive into our favorite things to do, and yes, we’ll share some local secrets too.1) Hit the Sand at Kings Beach State Recreation Area:
Nothing says summer like a day on the sand. Kings Beach State Recreation Area is the biggest and sandiest spot on the North Shore. We love starting the morning with a swim, building sandcastles, or just soaking up the sun. There’s plenty of space for everyone, and the vibe is always relaxed. If you’re an early riser, you’ll catch the glassy water and maybe even spot a few paddleboarders heading out for a sunrise session.2) Try Watersports Rental for Maximum Fun
Ready to switch things up? Our team at North Tahoe Watersports makes it easy to try something new. With a full menu of watersports rental options, you can hop on a jet ski, paddleboard, kayak, or even an aqua cycle trike. We’ve got gear for all ages and skill levels, so no one gets left out. Rentals are by the hour, which means you can mix and match activities all day. It’s the best way to keep everyone entertained and cool off when the sun is high.3) Paddle boarding: Glide Into Lake Tahoe’s Calm Mornings
There’s something peaceful about paddleboarding on Lake Tahoe in the early hours. The water is calm, the air is crisp, and the views are unbeatable. We often recommend paddleboarding to guests who want a workout with a side of scenery. It’s easy to learn, and you can go solo or with friends. Don’t forget your sunscreen and a hat—the reflection off the water is no joke.4) Jet Ski Adventures for Thrill Seekers
If you’re craving a little speed, jet skiing is the way to go. We see a lot of smiles (and the occasional happy scream) when guests zip across the lake. It’s a great way to explore more of Tahoe’s shoreline and feel the wind in your hair. Our jet skis are easy to operate, and we’ll give you a quick lesson before you head out. Just remember to bring your sense of adventure.5) Parasailing High Above the Lake
For a truly unforgettable view, nothing beats parasailing. With North Tahoe watersports kings beach, you can soar above the lake and see the Sierra Nevada mountains from a whole new angle. We’ve hosted everyone from first-timers to seasoned flyers, and the experience is always a highlight. The takeoff and landing are smooth, and you can fly solo, tandem, or even triple. Don’t forget to ask about our photo package—it’s the best way to capture the moment.6) Kayaking and Exploring the Shoreline
Kayaking is perfect for exploring the nooks and crannies of Kings Beach. We love sending guests out to discover hidden coves, rocky outcrops, and quiet spots away from the crowds. Single and double kayaks are available, and you can set your own pace. It’s a great way to connect with nature, spot local wildlife, and maybe even find your new favorite picnic spot.7) Family-Friendly Pedal Boats and Aqua Trikes
If you’re looking for something everyone can enjoy, pedal boats and aqua cycle trikes are always a hit. They’re easy to use, super stable, and perfect for families with kids. We’ve seen groups race each other, take leisurely rides, or just float and chat. It’s a fun, low-key way to spend an afternoon on the water.8) Enjoy a Lakeside Picnic or BBQ
After a morning of adventure, nothing beats a lakeside picnic or barbecue. Kings Beach has plenty of shaded tables and grills, so you can bring your favorite snacks or fire up some burgers. We love seeing families and friends gather for lunch, share stories, and take in the lake views. Don’t forget to pack plenty of water and maybe a frisbee for some post-lunch fun.9) Explore Local Shops and Cafés
Kings Beach isn’t just about the water. The town is full of quirky shops, cool cafés, and friendly locals. We always recommend taking a stroll through town to check out the boutiques, grab an ice cream, or sip a coffee on a sunny patio. It’s a great way to unwind and soak up the laid-back Tahoe vibe.10) Sunset Cruises and Evening Fun
As the sun sets, the lake transforms. Join a sunset cruise or rent a paddleboard for an evening glide. The colors are incredible, and the water is often calmest at dusk. It’s the perfect way to end a busy day and reflect on your favorite moments. We’re always happy to help you plan an evening adventure or recommend the best spots to watch the sunset.Ready for Your Kings Beach Adventure? Let’s Make It Happen!
