From: richard@West.Sun.COM (Richard M. Mathews)

  SAUVIE ISLAND is about 20 miles NW of Portland on US-30 to Astoria.
  Drive across the bridge and follow signs to beaches....specifically
  Reeder Beach.  Go past it.  Go past the moorage to the store.  Stop
  at the store to get a parking permit.  You'll need it.  You will pass
  a beach that has a "dike" on the river side and parking on the left.
  You will go up a rise and the road turns to a gravel road.  This is
  about 12 miles from the bridge.  Go about 1/2 to 1 mile.  You will see
  a parking area on the left.  Park there.  Cross the gravel road.  There
  are several places to go through the trees.  Go through.  Walk 100+ yards
  and you will be on the beach.  Several Miles of CO sand beach.
