Poet's Beach offers a relatively private and peaceful escape from the crowds, with easy access to the water and a view of the Marquam from below. The beach is conveniently located near OHSU and PSU buildings, making it easily accessible by bike. However, some visitors have noted that the water could be cleaner and that the beach could use more upkeep from the city. Additionally, the presence of graffiti and erosion has affected some of the poetry on the rocks. The beach's proximity to a highway means that traffic noise can be heard, and some visitors have expressed concerns about the presence of trash and dog waste. While the beach offers a natural space in an urban setting, it may not be suitable for those seeking a pristine and tranquil environment.
