Zephyr Cove, Cave Rock

Jenn and I took an early morning drive down to Zephyr Cove. When I looked on the map it didn't matter which way we drove around the lake - it was the same difference either way from Tahoe City (about an hour).

Zephyr Cove is a privately run beach resort - like Meeks Bay - with a beach, cabins. etc. At 8am it was very easy to park and only a short walk to the beach with the paddleboards. Bathrooms easily accessible. It was cold and a little breezy, but definitely warmer than our paddle last Memorial Day!

It was a lovely paddle north, pretty homes, some neat rocks, but probably not pretty enough to warrant the long drive from Alpine.

We made it almost all the way to Cave Rock but the wind was picking up and we decided to turn around.

Looking south - still snow!

Rocks along the way.

Cave Rock - we turned around at that pavilion.
