Located off highway 89, is perfect for those who need to have their vehicle near them or have people with limited mobility in the group. Parking is $7 dollars for the day but the lot provides ample parking just steps from the sand, clean well maintained bathrooms, picnic benches and barbeques for everyone to use. There are no dogs allowed at Pope Beach so make sure to leave your furry friends at home. For those who want to ditch their car and hit the road, take the bike trail from the “Y” area and enjoy the ride along with your fellow cyclist.

Head over to Zephyr Cover Beach and enjoy one of the livelier beaches on the south shore. Here at Zephyr Cove you can rent a boat, Jet Ski, kayak…or just sit and relax on the beach! Zephyr Cover is unique in that it also has a campground near it but it is also a resort featuring everything you could possible need from that forgotten beach town to a cabin to rent. There is alcohol allowed on the beach but no glass. Make sure to clean up after your day of fun for the next person to enjoy. You can pay $8 for parking or (like many people do) park your car off the paved road along highway 50 and walk down to the beach.
