Its a safe family water front place, lots of sand. Gives you a sense of being at beach. The water is clean.. no rocks .. perfect for little ones to jump in and go crazy. People float around, cruise..etc. airport os close by so every 10 minutes there is a plane flying up your heads. I come here because my daughter is 4 year old and she loves sand, building castles. Playing with water.

It's a great place to swim, lots of sand, currents not too strong. You must have sturdy legs to get to the sand. There is NO pathway. You literally have to climb down a pile of rocks BUT that's what makes it better because not many people will trek down it. It's not much of a chore but you definitely need to have your balance or hold the concrete wall when you go up or down.

We stopped here on our way from Portland to Seattle and were pleasantly surprised. It is nice little beach tucked away from the crowd. Clean beach, clean water, less turbulent waves and family crowd. The water temperature was perfect when we went in August.

Not easy to access if you fear loose boulders and rocks which is your only access route. Nice sandy beach which is cleaned often by the river tides and flooding from rain and snow melt. There are times when no beach is available. No handicap access.

Best inner city beach in Vancouver/Portland area. Super soft sand when the rivers high or low. When it’s low, there’s lots of rocks to skip. Great place for ages. Only down side is you have to walk down rocks to get to the beach... there’s no stairs.
