Washington doesn't have public access to all ocean beaches. You should come to Oregon and spend your money here - The entire Oregon Coast is open to the public.
But please, if you come to Oregon, do pick up after your dog...

Yup, I am a former resident and DNR employee and know that. It was the most idiotic thing I've ever done, but thought I should mention it for the benefit of others because I know a lot of people photograph the coast. I was doing some other work and didnt give photographer's a bad name, just people in general.
There is park access on the north side of the river. I highly recommend it, as this fellow wasn't joking. Its one of only 2 times in my life where I felt in imminent danger of being hurt.

Kirk has shown me on several occasions that driving a washboard road at 50-60mph does indeed smooth them out. I have tried to get to that speed myself and don't have the -------- to actually do it. Driving at that speed certainly does make stopping quickly or going around a curve an adventure. I would absolutely not drive that way if the road were wet, damp, or muddy. Then it would truly be an unsafe thing to do.
There is a campground at Chaco. I have stayed several times and generally sleep out under the bazillion stars. It is an amazing experience. I agree with Kirk, don't just pull off the road and camp. It might not be safe and the land may belong to someone else who may not appreciate your trespassing.
