If you sling flies on a salt water beach in the state of Washington; you'd be remiss not to have the State of Washington Department of Ecology Aerial Photos website in your back pocket.
Browsing through the photos via their interactive shoreline representation will give you a bird's eye view of what the beach you're about to hit up looks like. Seeing the beach from above helps you understand the structure and layout of the land. When you can understand this; you understand where the fish are going to hold.
Keep in mind, while checking this site out, you'll want to orient yourself to which way the tide will flow at the time you'll be fishing the beach. This is important because some beaches will have great structure on an flood tide and nothing on an ebb - or vice versa.
Check it out here.
