Broughton Beach provides great access to the Columbia River in the city. There is a large sandy beach that is nice for enjoying picnics and sunshine in the summer time. A large parking lot adjacent to the beach offers ample parking. Columbia Riverkeeper volunteers monitor habitat and use at this site from June-September as part of the Adopt-a-River program.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is essential right now. Follow the advice of the health experts. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Heading to the beach should only be considered an option if social distancing practices can be followed. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter the efforts to curb the virus’ spread.
