Small, family-friendly coastal park with wide sandy beach, dunes, tidepools and a sheltered cove — ideal for sunset panoramas, long-exposure seascapes, and foreground interest from driftwood and dune grasses. Best at golden hour and after low tide for exposed rocks; weekdays and off-season offer fewer crowds. Small parking lot on Sunset Beach Ln; short walk to shore via accessible paths. No entry fee; watch for changing tides and wind. Close to historic Fort Stevens and the Columbia River mouth.
