User reviews

"I reside in Grass Valley, therefore whenever I visit Lake Tahoe, Meeks Bay stands out as the finest beach. Similar to any other place, weekends can get crowded, but weekdays offer a serene and calming atmosphere. My family and I have been frequenting this beach for several years now, and it has never failed to impress us."
