As Snowy said there are a few nude beaches here. The two that I am aware of and have been to are near the PDX area. I know about them through word of mouth (there may be clothing optional footnotes in books, Im not sure).
One of them you walk to from a clothing only beach, and people seem to know this. It seems that when Ive been it was the clothed people who wandered in unknowingly who were uncomfortable. This beach is very comfortable and really not accessed by boaters for some reason. There are usually no games or stuff like was mentioned above-usually only sunbathers and swimmers braving the Columbia. Its friendly and easygoing, with a mix of people and bodies, with some of them usually being canine.
The other beach is also on the Columbia, further up river. It has developed a more lewd rep and I have not been there since then. I suppose thats fine, but I usually like the beach for hangin out, goofin around, exploring or sleeping, that kind of thing. Its not where I go to sex it up. However, if that was what someone was looking for, Ive heard thats the place.
We dont have papparazzi in PDX. It would not necessarily be unusual to find at least halfway naked people on any out of the way beach in OR and it might be me. I like deserted beaches, and would seek one out before going to a popular beach. Like Abaya, it is the freedom I seek.
Although in PDX central one doesnt necessarily need to go to the beach for public nudity. A couple of weeks ago on a Fri afternoon I was driving home and passed two nude bicyclists.
