Sandpoint, Idaho has its own fine sand beach in its downtown core. The beach is on the huge Lake Pend Oreille, with three massive mountains shading it, 111 miles of shoreline, and the entire city life revolving around it. Sandpoint is vibrant and fun, with a wonderful Farmers’ Market, an open air space where local producers offer their fresh fruits and vegetables and handicrafts. There is also live music.

Another unique market place is the Cedar Street Bridge Public Market with a series of shops, restaurants, and seasonal events happening on the bridge over Sand Creek right in the downtown Sandpoint. Art lovers can easily find something to satisfy their interest with two-dozen galleries all over town; one great example is Hallans Gallery. Kids will love Silverwood Theme Park with 60 rides, attractions, and shows. You can learn about the city past at the beautiful Bonner County Historical Society and Museum, and when it comes to skiing, it is difficult to beat the award-winning Schweitzer Retreat.
