About Collins Beach (clothing optional)
Collins Beach, up on Sauvie Island, is definitely one of a kind around Portland. Most folks know it as a clothing-optional spot, which is a pretty open secret. It's a natural beach, so you're not getting a built-in pool deck or anything super fancy. Based on the Google reviews, it pulls a solid 4.6 out of 5 from over 400 people, which is pretty good for any public spot, especially for how unique this one is. It's on NW Reeder Road, way out there. I'd give the city's parks department a call before heading out if you have any questions, their number is (503) 823-7529 and their website is portlandoregon.gov. It’s part of the whole Columbia River system, so it’s more of a river swim than a typical pool, which is important to remember.

Frequently asked questions
What are the operating hours for Collins Beach?
The information I have doesn't explicitly state daily operating hours for Collins Beach. Since it's a natural area managed by the city, access might be dependent on park hours. Your best bet is to call the city's parks information line at (503) 823-7529 or check the Portland Parks & Recreation website for details on river access timings.
Is Collins Beach suitable for families and children?
Collins Beach is known as a clothing-optional area. Because of that, it might not be the most comfortable or appropriate choice for all families with young children. There are no facilities or lifeguards, either. I'd consider other options if you're looking for a more family-oriented swim spot.
Is there parking available at Collins Beach?
Yes, parking is available, but it can fill up quickly, especially on warm weekends. The address is NW Reeder Rd, Portland, OR 97231. It's not a paved lot, more like roadside parking near the beach access points. Arriving early is usually a good strategy.
Are there other swimming options around Portland that are not clothing-optional?
Absolutely. Portland has many other public pools and recreational lakes for swimming that are not clothing-optional. You could check out your local community pools, places like Blue Lake Regional Park, or the various swimming holes along the Clackamas River. The Portland Parks & Recreation website often lists public swimming options.
