What a Beautiful
pace
Nestled beneath the rugged Selkirk Mountain Range and tucked along the
shore of magnificent Lake Pend Oreille, Sandpoint’s picture-perfect location
makes it easy to see why it’s such a special place. From the very first
glance, visitors and residents alike are awed by the natural beauty
of this northern Idaho oasis. And yet, they find themselves equally
impressed with the town’s rich bounty of entertainment and thriving
arts scene.
With such diverse options, you can enjoy a winter’s day on
the ski slopes, followed by an evening out on the town – perhaps taking in an independent film at the locally treasured
Panida Theater. Or fill a summer afternoon wakeboarding
out on the water, docking your boat afterward at a fine
lakeside restaurant.

exclusive day spas for an hour or so of pampering, then pull up a chair out

Festival at Sandpoint.
As you will find, in Sandpoint, the options are truly endless.
And to help make your experience absolutely perfect, within these pages you’ll find a guide
to our hospitable lodging options, unique dining venues, must-see major attractions, and so
much more that make this part of the world something extra special – beyond what was visible
the moment you laid eyes on it.
Welcome! This beautiful town is all yours to explore – as relaxed, or as adventurous, as
you want it to be.
Sandpoint. What a Beautiful Pace.
