From Chill to Thrill: Summer at Zephyr Cove Resort

Summer Your Way: Choose Your Adventure at Zephyr Cove Resort

Lake Tahoe is a summer paradise known for its clear blue waters and scenic mountain backdrop-but tucked along the southeast shoreline lies something even more special: Zephyr Cove Resort. This lakeside gem is the perfect launching point for all types of summer travelers-from adrenaline junkies to peace-seeking loungers.

Whether you're craving high-octane thrills, looking for a low-key way to soak in the scenery, or something in between, Zephyr Cove Resort lets you choose your own summer adventure.

Adventure at Zephyr Cove Resort for All Energy Levels

At Zephyr Cove Resort, adventure is what you make it. With everything from jet skis to beach chairs, there's no shortage of ways to enjoy Lake Tahoe on your own terms.

High-Energy Adventures on the Lake

If your idea of a vacation means pushing the limit, the resort's full-throttle activities won't disappoint.

Powerboat Rentals

Get out on the water with speed and style. Rent a Sea Ray powerboat-available in 21 or 24 feet-to enjoy skiing, tubing, wakeboarding, or just cruising the open lake. Don't forget to load up on water toys at the marina before heading out.

Jet Ski Rides

There's no better way to feel the rush of Lake Tahoe than from the seat of a Sea-Doo jet ski. Rent one for an hour or more and race your friends along the shoreline or explore the expansive blue waters solo. Each jet ski seats up to three people, so bring a buddy or two.

Parasailing Over Tahoe

Take your adventure to the skies. Parasailing at Zephyr Cove offers a bird's eye view of the Sierra Nevada and the sparkling lake. With smooth takeoffs and landings, it's a thrilling way to appreciate Tahoe's beauty from above.

Chill, Scenic Adventures at Your Own Pace

Adventure doesn't always have to be fast. For those who prefer a slower rhythm, Zephyr Cove has you covered.

Kayak & Paddleboard Rentals

Grab a paddle and explore the shoreline. Whether you're gliding silently in a kayak or floating atop a paddleboard, you'll have time to truly soak in the scenery. 

Beachside Relaxation

Sometimes, the best plan is no plan. Lay out your towel, dip your toes in the sand, and enjoy a relaxing day under the sun at Zephyr Cove Beach. With shaded umbrellas and lounge chairs available, it's the perfect place to unwind.

Sunset Dinner Cruise on the M.S. Dixie II

For a peaceful evening activity, board the M.S. Dixie II for a sunset dinner cruise across the lake. Watch the sky change colors while enjoying a 3-course meal and then sip on our signature cocktails and dance to live music

Refuel & Rest After a Day of Fun

Sunset Bar and Grille

Beach views and good food go hand-in-hand. The Sunset Bar and Grille offers casual dining right on the sand, with everything from burgers and wraps to frozen cocktails. Whether you're grabbing lunch between activities or winding down after a long day, it's the perfect pit stop.

Cozy Cabin Accommodations

After a full day of play, retreat to your private cabin just steps from the beach. Each cabin at Zephyr Cove Resort includes a private bathroom and kitchen making it easy to relax and recharge.

Plan Your Summer Getaway at Zephyr Cove Resort

No matter your adventure style-whether you're diving into high-speed water sports or kicking back on the shore-Zephyr Cove Resort makes it easy to enjoy summer your way. With its perfect blend of activities, relaxation, and unbeatable lakefront location, it's time to stop dreaming and start planning so book your summer stay and make this season one to remember.
