Food scene
Clydes Coffee Roasting Co
292 Kingsbury Grade RdBest lattes and pastries! Also a great place to chill.
Best breakfast in South Lake! This is where the locals get waffles and eggs. Try the Rosti or chicken and waffles. Great burgers. Closes at 2pm, but there's another on Ski Run that's open later and has an ice cream fountain.

Lots of options at Zephyr Cove: boat rentals, parasailing, sunset dinner cruises, snowmobiling, horseback rides... if you want to find a quieter cove, just drive a little further. Just past Warrior Way and the fire station, you will see a few cars parked by a trail on the other side of the street. Turn around at Skyland and park behind them on your way back. A short walk takes you to a couple of quiet coves north of Zephyr Cove Resort. That's our beach.
