This was a great spot for a beach day! The only downside is that the parking lot is pretty small. You'll definitely want to arrive early! We came about 9:15 on Fathers Day Sunday and parking was about half full. I liked that there were multiple paths down to the beach so you could park close to where you're set up on the sand. They have bathrooms available on site which was super helpful for our little kids! There are picnic tables before you get down to the beach too. Parking is $12 and that's your only fee here, some other beaches in Tahoe can have a little bit more pricey of a reservation. It's about 15 mins away from main stores and shopping centers, and I had no problem with cellphone service here. This was a nice first beach experience in Tahoe! read more

the park is lovely but the wi-fi has horrible service. now I called their after hour phone number to get the password in order to sign into zephyrcove guest and according to Christian there isn't a password because they, and I quote, " we don't have wi-fi" end quote. Christian either just lied to me or he is insufficiently trained. I am currently on their wi-fi and have one bar. Really? this is a good size place and a popular camp ground, they should have better service. my hot spot won't even let me watch tv read more

Great beach spot. It cost us $12 to park, but for the decency of the bathrooms, it was worth it. read more

Not a bad place to hang out. Unfortunately the day we came major haze due to all the fires raging up and down the coast. Rented wave-runners/jet skis $144 an hour but confined to harbor only. (They wanted to make sure they can spot the skis so limited riding to harbor) FYI to drive one must be 16 with drivers license and to drive a passenger must have license AND driver must be 18. read more

Our family and friends come to this RV Resort every summer vacation because there are many water entertainment projects here. My husband and daughter like the jet ski sport and have driven it many times. Today we came here as usual, and my husband took his driver's license to register, but was rejected by a staff member. The reason is that my husband's English pronunciation is not as good as him and he thinks that my husband does not know English. I explained to him that we have come here many times and have driven jet skis and other projects every year. To prove this, I even showed him our previous photos and my bank credit card bill records. But he still insisted that they cannot provide services to guests who cannot communicate with him very well in English! And said that this is their rule. We have immigrated to the United States for ten years. My husband has a Class A driver's license. We have our own property management company and RV rental business. We sincerely ask him not to destroy the image of the company and our vacation mood because of his prejudice! But he said that they have new policies, It is not possible for us like before. I asked him to show me the new policy, and he said to call the manager. Then a man who claimed to be the manager showed up, and he also couldn't show me their new rules but rudely refused to record the video I started at this time. This is the first time I have experienced such serious racial discrimination as a consumer in the United States! Never back again! read more

I would normally give Zephyr Cove five stars because it used to be my favorite beach to take my dog and swim myself. It was $10 to park at the Zephyr Cove Resort and then you would just walk to the right and not to long of a walk to get to the dog friendly side. Unfortunately, they recently placed a fence so even if you park at the resort there is no way to access the dog friendly side from The parking lot which was super frustrating that I paid for nothing. In the past it was always super easy now I just go to Nevada Beach Campground or kiva because it's way easier to bring the dogs. I pay for the convenience of not having to street park and have to get all scratched up to get my little dogs to the beach. read more

This place is beautiful, worth a visit! 12$ for parking. I see a lot of native guys just parked their cars along the road that just outside of their gated parking area! what a smart decision, and it is totally legal. Will do it next time. read more

Just amazing. Quiet, spacious beaches.. oh my! I grew up in Cali; needless to say Santa Monica beach, Malibu, Dana point - I've been up & down em like my own backyard. But Zephyr Cove was Ahhhhhmazing! Definitely became my new Tahoe secret getaway spot (psst.. I'll only share it with my Yelp famm!!) read more

Local who's been coming here for years, all of a sudden parking is $40 dollars???!!! Nope. Park on the street and walk in. It's normally only $10 or $12 to park inside, all of a sudden "due to COVID" parking is jacked up to a ridiculous rate. Don't do it! Save your money and park on the road. I'm so disappointed!! read more

It gets very busy at this beach, but who cares? It's beautiful anyway! Love how you can go so far out and it's shallow, plus crystal clear

Good spot to bring the family and friends. Able to enjoy the snow capped mountain at a distance with view of paddle boarders boats and trees all around. Gorgeous read more

Great location to get your furry paws to the beach Very close to South lake Tahoe less than 6 miles. Park across the street or pay $10 to park read more

Very very nice place to visit had the opportunity to stay in the campground and conduct business as well

Zephyr cove has lots of space for people to sit! It has a lot of parking, it's usually $10 dollars to park. Might be a little more for out of state license plates. There's a restaurant nearby and has a dock as well. So anytime you want to kayak, jet ski or go boating you can! They also have a mini cruise ship that can take people for dinners and lunches which you have to reserve and it's pretty pricy. But that's where you can go for cruise ships out of zephy read more

It's beautiful because its Tahoe but this beach is not as great as others. There seems to be a lot of a rowdier crowd. The water line was a bit smelly. There was a guy doing jet ski doughnuts almost on the shore. No one regulating what was going on. This beach was great for the dog. Shallow waters. Sunset was beautiful and great place for pictures on rocks. read more

Nice beach, good location. Plenty of parking in the early to mid-afternoon. We came early, and parked in the campground section where it's pet-friendly. Not a long walk from the parking lot to the beach, although I strongly suggest sandels and water shoes! The beach has a beautiful view from every sitting spot, and lots of rocks if you want to climb them for photo ops or sun-bathing. Random people painting photos on the beach... Very peaceful/serene. I took my dog in the water... The water is cool, not too cold (in late July), and shallow. Even though the beach is beautiful, and the water so crystal clear you can see specks of gold... It's very rough on bare feet... Like lava rock rough. So yeah... Bring some water shoes if you plan to walk in the water. :) Oh... And $8 for the days parking. read more

Was told service shuttle would pick us up at hotel. Shuttle drove by us and never picked us up. Found out we were suppose to be across the street. Reservations never sent email with instructions just told us shuttle would pick us up at hotel. Joke of a company don't waste your money. Ruined my daughters birthday! read more

If you are in the area, and are up for a beautiful view, check this place out. Being from Texas, the scenic appeal of Zephyr Cove is surreal. Turquoise waters with tall pines (I think) all along the cove in both directions. Minimal fee for parking, volleyball nets, and a beach bar. We spent the better part of the afternoon at the cove for a post wedding rehearsal get-together. I would go back again in a heartbeat. We went mid-week, and I heard that this place get get a little rowdy on the weekends, especially during college break periods. Take a day off work and relax. read more

Crystal clear waters. Small beaches but you can make it work. If you have your four legged friend with you, you have to go down to the north end where dogs are allowed. They have a ton of picnic tables up and down the beach. Was plenty of parking although we did go on a weekday. A lot of people park right off the highway. Definitely one of my favorite beaches in South Lake Tahoe. read more

Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! It's been almost 15 years since I've been to ZC and it's still so amazing! It was freezing cold, but I enjoyed going. I was able to take really good pics and just look at nature's beauty. Watched a cute little duck swim. It's definitely better to go during the warmer months, which I hope to do! read more

Park is nice. Reviews are a bit mixed up because you can go to the park by the library and play on the playground, camp, tennis, ect and walk to beach. Or pay the entrance fee to park at the beach. Nice beach, fairly busy on a wed morning. read more

This is a nice park with a baseball field, tennis courts, playground etc. The breeze feels nice and you can smell the trees. No sounds of traffic can be heard either.. I only wish the view of the lake wasn't blocked by trees. Otherwise it's a 5 star park. The kids enjoyed it. read more

Terrible service. No point in making a reservation for a boat, as they make you wait in like for over 45 minutes with everyone else who didn't make a reservation. Understaffed and clearly don't care. What a disaster. read more

Beautiful place, came just in time for the sunset. Water was cold as usually. Came during the summer months, saw people long board. Dog friendly place. read more

We were very pleased overall. Being so close to a fun beach was awesome. We had very few crowds but everything was operating and open. No drunks, no massive parties, no drama. The RV park is pricey - and state parks are cheaper and nearer the beach! Since we play tennis, we were delighted to see the tennis courts just .5 mile away. The Blue Wave yacht cruise was fantastic and well worth $50 each. The highway noise is loud. Park is well run and conveniences are many. No complaints, but it's not flawless. read more

Zephyr Cove Park is a really nice place to hang out in Tahoe. Parking can get a little bit crazy during the summer. The beach is really nice and there are some great views. We have taken one of the boat cruises there as well. Close to the casinos and there is a resort one can stay right on site. For those looking for a wedding location, this was one of our finalist in picking a place for ours. read more

Nice place. Showers and laundry available. Stayed in winter so some very slippery walks to the shower. Bring a headlamp if you're gong to walk to the shower after dark. read more

Really nice place, great for small kids and groups, and really close to the beach! I have a toddler that had a blast on the slides. read more

Beautiful beach On the Nevada side amazing for paddle boarding and beautiful scenic views of Tahoe.

The guy who works at the gate is a prick. We went to eat breakfast at the little restaurant near there and we were going to walk to the cove to take a picture. He came out and told us we had to pay 8 dollars to take a picture at the park. We had no beach gear or anything just to take a picture. Note the beach was cold and windy with no one on it and other visitors came walking back up and they weren't told they had to pay to go to the park - calling bs. read more

Its a great beach if it isnt overcrowded and you need to park and haul a lot of stuff. So if you have kids its one of the good family beaches. Not best but good. Like every beach on tahoe its gorgeous. Beautiful views and amazing waters. Its a popular spot for paddleboarding and has a lot of picnic areas and restrooms. Like all the other popular spots with parking it has a fee, $8. There are lots of boats "parked" on the water and there is a lot of comings and goings. It has a snack bar, cafe, and rentables, so its appealing if you are up for spending a little bit of dough. I prefer a hikable beach, like hidden or skunk, less crowded and over all more of the experience i enjoy. Not that this isnt an amazing beach all beaches are on tahoe, i just spent all day there with the kids today! So honest opinion: when i have the kids i go to sand harbor, if its full i go to zephyr. 3 stars only out of tahoe beaches. This is still a great place to see and enjoy! read more

I came out to South Lake Tahoe a few weeks back for a friend's bachelorette party and we decided to spend a day on the beach. It was a summer weekend that happen to fall on Hot August Nights, so the beach was packed. We had to park up a hill about a mile away and very few spots for our group of 6 to layout. In general it makes for a great party scene with lots of music and drinking (Rum Runners), but not so great if you're looking for something peaceful and quiet. To escape the chaos we bought some inner tubes ($24) with head rests and drinks holders and just hung out in the water for a couple of hours. Overall a pretty good afternoon. read more

One of the worse beaches I've ever had to endure for Fourth of July, I actually had to leave in the morning because my Bloody Mary's were confiscated. $40 parking only to have no beach, jammed packed full of people, and no buzz to enjoy your celebration of our country. I do not ever recommend it. read more

Its a small park with some swings and slides for the little one. Given that its right next to the beach, maybe its better to go to beach than here :) .. However, I had kids who wanted to play on slides etc. Hence, it was perfect for them. read more

Nice with a library and BBQ spots No lake view though

Loved this place! Close to the water with a lot of hints to do! Close enough to a casino that if you take a. Uber it's close!
