June 2014, USA Trip
Kings Beach was named after card shark Joe King, who won the
town site from George Whittell nearly a century before poker had a cult
cable-TV following. Set against a
vibrant blend of colors, flavors and textures, Kings Beach is kick back. In
fact, this stretch of North Lake Tahoe wrote the book on mellow kick back.
It is rightfully known as the north shore’s banana belt, as
it stands in the sun’s path from early morning into the p.m. As if basking
under the sun’s glow were not enough, this mountain/beach town throws a sandy
welcome to all with a signature downtown public beach.

I really love road trips here in the US, an hour trip from
Sparks all the way to Tahoe would make your head spin from these
picturesque views along the way. I find it really breathtaking; pictures didn’t
do justice from its real beauty.
