Lake Erie, though a lake it is a great lake and will get sufficiently choppy with short period wind chop up to 1-2m if wind is heavy with an onshore component. Water is deep 10m off shore.

Long (1.3km) sandy beach within State Park. Sandy with pebbles. Main beach area is raked/cleaned, outside main beach area, fair amount of driftwood branches which can tangle lines during launch. South end of the beach is designated launch area, right against the southern boundary of the park.

Best on West to Southwest. East or Northeast is ok too. Shoreline faces straight SW to NE. Wind is normally gusty.

90 or 2 east of Cleveland, 20 miles distance. North on 44 for 2 miles. Drive into the state park. Pull all the way to the left (South) end of the huge parking lot when you arrive.

Windsurfers and kitesurfers coexist peacefully and many cross-over. This is a public beach which can get very crowded with clueless Midwesterners in the summer. Keep your kite well out of the swimming areas. You should be comfortable staying upwind in deep bump and jump chop to avoid penetrating the swim area. The north end of beach is a national wildlife preserve and a prohibited launch area. Rangers on 4 wheelers will warn you, but will generally let you get off the beach.
