Houghton Beach Park

Fodor's Review:

On hot days, sun-worshippers and swimmers flock to this beach south of downtown Kirkland on the Lake Washington waterfront. The rest of the year, the playground attracts families, and the fishing pier stays busy with anglers. Facilities include drinking water, picnic tables, phones, and restrooms. Head to the north end of the beach if you want some distance between you and the playground. You can also rent canoes or kayaks at the docks here.
