The best local spot to get a healthy breakfast or lunch. Locals tip: order your food "to go" during lunch time then walk right up to the counter to avoid huge lines. Then walk to the Lake to eat.

Located inside the Edgewood golf course, this more casual dining experience had great mountain and course views. Outside seating in the summer provides lake views, and the pitchers of Mojitos are a must have after a long day in the summer sun! Fine for adults and kids alike. For a fancier dinner, make reservations at the adjoining restaurant-beautiful lake views.

The Tahoe Queen and the MS Dixie depart on their daily Emerald bay tours from here. Volleyball courts are adjacent to a beach snack shack and bar. Be advised-the bar area and the beach to the left of the pier can get rowdy. For a quieter experience, walk to the right of the pier (north) and find your own patch of sand with stunning views.
