5. Collins Beach – Sauvie Island, Oregon
Heading back to the Northwest, we come to our first inland beach, which is on the Columbia River. Not too far from Portland, you can still get that weird, funky vibe among the clientele. But access to such an experience can be a little rocky, as the last quarter-mile drive is down a gravel road. But we still think it’s worth it, especially with a cooler, packed full of some of the area’s micro brews, and perhaps some Voodoo Doughnuts.
