This was the view of our beach and first sunset on the lake. The water here was amazing and very clear as well, which made for great SCUBA diving conditions and the little bays around the islands provided calm water for wakeboarding and other watersports. #LifeAtExpedia #Nature #Trovember](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621532647736/4f9ad4d7-2083-4e6f-9928-4a6b2363831a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Royal Things to do ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2026/02/06/expedia-sale-2026-desktop-us-ca.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1400&h=600&q=mediumHigh) ## The Annual Vacation Sale Members save up to 40% on hotels and homes.
