Kings Beach sits along a path many American pioneers took on their way west, and it’s less than half an hour from Donner Memorial State Park, where you can visit Pioneer Monument. The statue commemorates those who emigrated to California in the mid-1800s, including members of the Donner Party who perished there in the winter of 1846. The Visitor Center offers exhibits on the life of the pioneers, the Washoe Indians, and the Chinese immigrants who built railroads through the region. Guided tours of the park’s sites are available for adults and families year-round.
Kings Beach is known for its – hold on to your hat – beach! Find a centrally located Kings Beach vacation rental, and you’ll be within walking distance of 1,000 feet of beautiful, sandy shoreline framed by stately Jeffrey pines. The beach wears its family friendly heart on its sleeve, with 18 picnic tables, barbecues, and a playground for the little ones. Jet ski, kayak, and paddleboard rentals are within easy reach. Kings Beach really hits its stride in summer, but at only 8 miles from the nearest ski slopes, it’s a popular winter destination as well.
It's hard to find better summer weather on Lake Tahoe than what’s on offer at Kings Beach. Set in what’s known as the banana belt, the town falls in the sun’s path from early morning to evening during summer. High temperatures hit the upper 70s, and rain is rare. Winter temps are mild for such a snowy climate, with highs in the low 40s, and vacationers hit the slopes from December through April. In short, your Kings Beach vacation rental will be a perfect retreat year-round. Looking for a bargain? Try fall or spring, when the pace of life slows.
