Small, quiet riverside beach on the Columbia near George — great for wide waterscape compositions, reflective foregrounds, basalt outcrops and long leading lines along the shoreline. Visit at sunrise or sunset for warm light and color; late spring–early summer brings lush grasses and wildflowers. Accessible from a roadside turnout with limited parking, no entry fee, and minimal facilities — bring water and shade. Weekdays are least crowded; check wind forecasts for river texture.
