Columbia Point Marina’s New Beach Features Kayak Launch

If you live in the Tri-Cities and are looking for a new place to launch your kayak or paddleboard, you could check out the new beach at Columbia Point Marina.

The City of Richland has a new little beach area after parts of the riverfront started falling into the river.

The Parks and Recreation Department decided that creating a beach area was the perfect way to fix the area.

It was also a low-cost project as sand came from the City's landfill and the Parks and Rec Department provided the manpower to get things smoothed over.

The City says the new beach area will be perfect for launching kayaks, canoes, and paddle-boards away from the boat launch marina. You can read more details about the new beach here.
