So where do you lie out in the summer in Portland!
Being from the east coast, I am an avid beach goer! i have heard great things about the coast, but many people told me that its too cold to wear your bathing suit in the summer! So I am wondering where does everyone go to lie out!( Besides backyards and pools!!)
Re: So where do you lie out in the summer in Portland!
There are only about 5-10 days during the summer that it will be warm enough at the coast to lay out and tan. They are few and far between here!
It does get up in the high 80's almost every day in the summer, and there are definetly a few 90 and 100+ days. A lot of people hang out and tan at Waterfront Park, downtown on the river.
My BFF kept her pool key when she moved out of her old apartment complex, so we go there. We also bought a boat last summer, and there is a pretty active boasting community in Portland and Lake Oswego. That's my favorite place to tan.
Oooh also if you haven't been to Kahneeta, check it out immediately!!!

It's a great place for a girls weekend, about a 2 1/2 hour drive from Portland.
First tourist of the Season:
I am partly with the group that doesn't lay out, and partly with the sunbathers. There are so few months of warm, sunny weather here that I feel a desparate need to take advantage of them.
I love laying out on the beach at Sauvie Island. You take highway 30, cross the Sauvie Island bridge, follow the signs to Reeder beach, and then go past Reeder Beach till the road becomes dirt. The first part of it is clothing required, so be watchful of the "clothing optional" signs if you have issues about that kind of thing. The sand is great, the water is about chest/waist high pretty far out (it's on the Columbia River), and all you have to pay is buying a parking pass at the little store on the island. Enjoy!
