Pops' California Travel Guide, The Beacon, So Lake Tahoe



My favorite place to eat in So Lake Tahoe whether it is summer or winter is The Beacon at Camp Richardson. The Beacon is on the beach at Lake Tahoe with indoor or outdoor dining. The food is incredible and my favorite are the marinated steak (ribeye) tacos (3). There are live bands outside in the summer with great music. However, you can't beat sitting outside listening to music by the beach eating steak tacos and drinking their famous Rum Runners. The Rum Runners are a blended fruit drink made with rum and then they float dark rum on top. The Rum Runners are great on a hot summer day but I have also enjoyed them after a long day of snow skiing.




If you are in South Lake Tahoe make the drive to Camp Richardson. Driving west on HWY 50 take a right at the "Y" and drive about 5 miles to Camp Richardson. They charge $8 to park during the summer but when you place your order in the restaurant you get the $8 back. Check them out online to see what bands are playing. I have talked about the steak tacos but the rest of the menu is awesome. Try the chipote shrimp nachos also.
