From the twin cities (Saint Paul/Minneapolis) take Hwy 169 North towards Garrison. The beach is a few miles south of the Casino on 169. If you are coming up from the south it is just before the river. Parking is a bit iffy.
Edit
Kite at your own risk but please respect the local swimmers, boaters, etc.
Edit
Excellent nightlife 5 minutes away in Garrison. 15 minutes away in Brainerd.
