Columbia River / Marine Drive

The water is fairly choppy if there is wind. Also you need to be careful about the huge downwind current. The beach has fairly coarse sand which gets grassy as you get further away from the beach. There are pilings on the right hand side of the beach if you are looking at the water and a marina to the left. You usually have enough room to launch but on hot summer days there are huge numbers of people sitting around. Sometimes the wind is gone everywhere else but here and it gets windier than Sauvies Island, although it can be gusty. In the summer the temps are unpredictable but usually above 70°F. The water is relatively warm and so you don't need a wetsuit for summer and early fall. It is best in spring, summer and fall but you can go there in the winter if you have a thick wetsuit. Water: Chop. Features: Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
