A short 15-minute drive from downtown Sacramento drops you off at this picturesque beach on the banks of the American River. The water is very calm and not very deep, so it is perfect for families or inexperienced swimmers. Sometimes, the beach can be quite busy, although you can also head further downstream to find your own little space to relax. There are also several hiking trails in the area, including the easy hike that leads to the beach. Bring snacks and water as there are not any facilities nearby.
