On the southern end of Marla Bay on the flanks of Round Mound is a half mile of sandy beach known as Round Hill Pines. There is plenty to do here since it is also the home of the Tahoe Star (Harrah's), the Bow Wave (Caesar's), H20 Watersports, and the Lakeside Bar & Grill. If that's not enough you can try your luck with tennis or take a dip in the heated pool. A limited number of picnic tables are available and tend to get dragged around wherever needed. The pier would be an ideal place for jumping into the lake if it weren't so strictly forbidden. This is also a great place to watch the sunsets. Some summer evenings there is even live music during the sunset.
