Patton Landing Beach is a pebbly version of Lake Tahoe shoreline. A free public beach that offers picnic tables and summer-only bathrooms, the park also has free parking and a car-top boat launch. To help with the fun factor, Waterman's Landing Beach Cafe adjoins the free public beach and offers yummy treats and delicious drinks as well as kayak, canoe and paddleboard rentals. This is a pretty place to walk in the winter or to declare your wedding vows.
