About this spot

Sandy beach at the point where the American River meets the Sacramento River, next to Discovery Park. A free life jacket loaner station operates here in summer, and using one is strongly advised because the confluence has drop-offs and swirling currents that have caused drownings. Stay close to shore and keep kids in life jackets.
