Welcome to the Smoke Free Solano County Parks
Smoking or use of e-cigarettes is not permitted inside or on
the grounds of any Solano County park (ORD. #2015-1755)

Sandy Beach County Park is located on the Sacramento River just south of Rio Vista. Open year-round, the park offers campsites, picnic grounds, a sand beach (swimming is not allowed due to strong currents and sudden drop offs, no lifeguard on duty), and a 24-hour boat launch.

SANDY BEACH PARK MAY CLOSE AFTER FILLING TO CAPACITY ON BUSY, NICE WEATHER DAYS, ESPECIALLY HOLIDAY WEEKENDS. VISITORS WILL NOT BE ADMITTED TO THE PARK DURING THE CLOSURE. ANYONE WHO LEAVES THE PARK DURING THE CLOSURE WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO RE-ENTER UNTIL THE PARK REOPENS.

Note:  dogs and glass containers are NOT allowed in the day use area (picnic area and beach).

The campground includes picnic tables, barbecue pits, hot showers, flush toilets and an RV dump station. Each of the 42 individual campsites has hook-ups for electricity and water. A camp host and park resident are on site to assist you so that your visit is enjoyable. Dogs on leash are welcome in the campground (Must stay in campground and attended to at all times.). 

Overlooking the Sacramento River, the picnic area is equipped with tables, barbecue grills, sand volleyball court and a horseshoe pitch. Visitors enjoy playing along the beach and viewing the Delta.  Picnic tables are first-come / first-served.  Whether from the shoreline or off the side of a boat, fishing for catfish, sturgeon or striped bass is very popular along 1,000 miles of Delta waterways.  Other recreational activities enjoyed at the park are jet-skiing, pleasure boating, wind surfing, sailing and sunbathing on the beach.  Visitors also enjoy the small-town atmosphere of Rio Vista, with a variety of shops and restaurants.
