Grab your bathing suit, sunscreen, sandals, and shades, because nothing says summer like a trip to the beach! If you’re looking for somewhere to swim in the water and lay (or play!) in the sand, without having to drive too far, Kelso is the park for you.
Lifeguards are on duty at the beach during the summer. Lifeguarding is now finished for the 2025 season.
