Kayak or paddle board on Canandaigua, then enjoy a meal with a view
If it’s hot outside and you’re not the summer woods hiker type, this may be the perfect alternative! Take a relaxing drive up the lake and rent a kayak, peddle kayak, or paddle board while paddling around the beautiful north end of Canandaigua Lake. Grab a drink and fill your belly back up at one of the lakeside restaurants (you earned it)!

We have one key mission at Canandaigua Sailboard–connect you to nature through exceptional experiences.

A longtime institution, the Sand Bar originally opened in 1994. We preserved the character that made it the legend it is while updating the menu with an extensive beer and wine selection, fresh cocktails, and simple yet perfect bar staples like crisp golden fries. It’s the casual hangout spot you crave after a long day on the lake. Pull up a chair under the famous hanging boat and let us take care of you.
