West Shore

Tahoe’s West Shore invites homeowners to relish a classic laid-back Tahoe lifestyle.

Welcome to West Shore

Rich with history, authentic style, and sheer beauty

Rich with history, authentic style, and sheer beauty, Tahoe’s West Shore invites homeowners to relish a classic laid-back Tahoe lifestyle. The locally coined term states that “the West Shore is the best shore” – and with good reason.
 
This stretch of the lake, stretching from Tahoe City south toward Emerald Bay, is graced with spectacular lakefront estates, cozy cabins, and elegant historic homesteads. Communities include Sunnyside, Tahoe Pines, Homewood, Tahoma, Meeks Bay, and Rubicon Bay. The West Shore has a very neighborly feel where friends catch up at the West Shore Market and impromptu gatherings form on area piers in the summer. Along the main road, a paved bike path stretches from Meeks Bay all the way into Tahoe City, which is perfect for cruising with the family on a warm summer day.
 
In the winter, Homewood Mountain Resort is just a short drive away. Deemed “the gem of Lake Tahoe’s west shore” by SKI Magazine, Homewood offers unparalleled views of the lake. Sugar Pine Point State Park offers year-round activity, including access to Tahoe’s beautiful shoreline during summer and cross-country ski and snowshoe trails during winter. Those looking to immerse themselves in the true Tahoe lifestyle need to look no further than West Shore.
