Lake Tahoe’s crown jewel – an oasis of shimmering greens, turquoise and blues against a strikingly beautiful mountain backdrop on the Lake’s west shore – this is Emerald Bay. Due to Lake Tahoe’s incredible clarity and depth, the colors of the lake are surreal, and Emerald Bay is the perfect place to take in the entirety of the scene.

Emerald Bay was declared a National Natural Landmark in 1969 by the federal Department of the Interior. In 1994, California State Parks included the surrounding water of the bay as part of the park as well, making Emerald Bay one of the first underwater parks of its type in California, which also protects the various treasures hiding at the bottom of the bay.

Photography Tips
