El Dorado Beach in South Lake Tahoe has been a popular place for decades.

Dressing rooms used to be on the beach. For many years there was no restroom. The city put in bathrooms that opened last year when it created what is now Lakeview Commons.

To create the original park-like setting several trees had to be taken down.
