Nice chill area to swim or sun bathe with close proximity to good food. Water is nice and not too cold during summer. And you can swim pretty far out and it's not too deep. When it's windy, you can also see tons of people kite surfing. And the playgrounds nearby are quaint and have tons of kids

Absolutely stunning place to come on summer evenings. A lot of people do kite surfing and kayaking and just watching them itself is a lot of fun. Highly recommend kayaking, if nothing else. Beautiful Breeze and great picnic area to enjoy a lazy day.

Kiteboarders can launch from the grassy park on off season months, but in the heart of summer launching has to take place out on the sandbar due to the large number of kiters. However you can pump up your kite and lay out your lines on the grass… and when done you can leave your kite on the grass to dry.

Fun place to spend the day. Mostly kiters/wind sports to watch. Just down from some good family beaches, waterfront playground, and restaurants.

Just a quick hour from Vancouver/PDX will get you to Hood River, where you can watch and even participate in kayaking, wind surfing, kite boarding, as well as other water sports and events. There are nice walking trails, plenty of beach areas, and as always, pet friendly. Food and drink are available, and the whole area is family friendly.

This place is amazing for some family fun! Great place to bring your kids and enjoy all sorts of water activities. Everything from swimming to kite boarding you can do here. The town is also a ton of fun with some really great restaurants and breweries to visit. The scenery with the water and mountains is fo die for. There is no doubt that everyone will have a good time at good river.

Stop!!! You won't be sorry! It's so entertaining to watch! I saw the abundance of kites from the freeway and was shocked! I'm not from the area and have never seen so many beautiful kites in my life, especially at 6 PM on a Tuesday! This many people were out still enjoying the water on a 102 degree day. Next time I'm around I'd love to try kite boarding or at least spend some time at the beach and paddleboard in the bay.
