Small Columbia River beach park with wide river vistas, shoreline rocks and pilings, waterfowl and strong sunset/sunrise light — great for waterscape and landscape shots. Easy access from a roadside parking lot with short walk to the sand; no formal entry fee. Best at golden hour for warm light and reflections, or overcast for moody long exposures. Weekday mornings and late evenings are least crowded. Bring layers — river breezes can be cold.
