Kites
Voted as the best kite flying location in North America by Kitelines Magazine, Lincoln City is known as the Kite Capital of the World. Lincoln City has an advantage in kite flying because of its geographic location. It sits right on the 45th parallel, positioning it at the ideal point for the mixing process of the warm equatorial air and the cold polar air. Annual Summer and Fall Kite Festivals bring thousands of international delegates and visitors from as far away as the Orient and Europe. Visitors and homeowners in Lincoln City can also enjoy the local GOLF, HIKING, FISHING/CRABBING, WHALE WATCHING, THEATER, PARKS, and much, much more!
