New kite store in Seaside

- Westport Winery's Kim Roberts and her long time friend Doll Camp of Cachalot Kites set up Seaside Kites at 810 Broadway.
The Roberts family, owners of Westport Winery in Seaside, opened Seaside Kites at 810 Broadway on June 1. Winery co-owner Kim Roberts, who partners with her husband Blain, daughter Carrie and son Dana, said she hopes kids can enjoy the shop while parents spend time in the nearby tasting room.
The kite shop’s tag line is “the sky’s the limit,” reflective of their purchase of the building in January. Since then the family has made significant investments in the property, including deferred maintenance, painting and repairing. The store was aided by Doll Camp, who has owned Cachalot Kites in Westport for more than 40 years. She focused merchandise on affordable, colorful, and easy-to-fly kites for all ages.
The Roberts family opened their Seaside tasting room in January. They also have a tasting room in Cannon Beach. For more information, visit westportwinery.com.
