This is the only known location in the state where you can watch the sunset over the water.
Visit bay side for calm water

Walk the bay side for shells
The bayside offers better flotsam and jetsam for beachcombers than other sections.
Arrive before 9am on summer weekends
Parking lot B fills by mid-morning, creating wait times of three hours or longer on Sundays.

Questions
Common questions
Where do you park at Kite Beach?
The nearest mapped parking area is 150 yd from the listed location. Positions come from OpenStreetMap, not from review text.
How far is the walk to the water at Kite Beach?
The listed location sits on the shoreline itself, so there is no walk to speak of once you are out of the car.
Does Kite Beach have restrooms?
No restrooms are mapped within 600 m on OpenStreetMap. That means nobody has mapped any, which is not the same as there being none.
When is Kite Beach least busy?
Google visit patterns put the quietest hour at Sat 7pm and the busiest at Fri 9am.
Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
