We recommend parking in the parking lot at Rooster Rock State Park. If you want to access the nude beach /clothing-optional beach, park at the east end (turn right when you enter the park). To park in the parking lot you’ll need to pay the $5 day-use rate per vehicle when you arrive, or purchase an annual pass online or from a vendor in advance.

There are two clothing optional beaches near Portland (Rooster Rock and Sauvie Island), and both have areas where many gay, lesbian, queer, trans, and other LGBTQIA+ people hang out. Rooster Rock is an inclusive place with all types of people, including families with children. At Rooster Rock, many queer folx tend to gather towards the east end of the clothing-optional beach (both on the mainland and Sand Island).

Rooster Rock! Of course, we’re a bit biased. Rooster Rock is beautiful, has great sand beaches, bathrooms, picnic areas, a shower and foot wash station, lots of parking, a giant nude beach section, is queer-friendly, and has a friendly atmosphere.
