Located inside the Edgewood golf course, this more casual dining experience had great mountain and course views.

The Tahoe Queen and the MS Dixie depart on their daily Emerald bay tours from here. Volleyball courts are adjacent to a beach snack shack and bar. Be advised-the bar area and the beach to the left of the pier can get rowdy. For a quieter experience, walk to the right of the pier (north) and find your own patch of sand with stunning views.
