From July 4 - Labor Day (Sept. 1, 2025), vehicles will need a free Sauvie Island Beaches Pass in addition to the Wildlife Area Parking Permit ($10 daily) to park on weekends and holidays at the beaches' parking lots—Walton Beach, Collins Beach, Willow Bar and North Unit. A check station will be in effect on some weekends and holidays to check vehicles for the Pass and Permit.
Get your Beaches Pass and Parking Permit before coming to the island on weekends and holidays. Purchase online or by visiting a license sale agent.
