For a truly local experience, the small sandy beach along the Congaree River at Riverfront Park provides a unique, urban take on the beach day. Featured in Columbia Metropolitan Magazine and endorsed by locals for its peaceful setting and easy access, this riverside spot is perfect for picnics, sunbathing, and watching kayakers drift by. Food trucks and pop-up events often add to the lively atmosphere. While swimming is not always advised due to changing currents, it’s a beloved gathering place that showcases Columbia’s relationship with its rivers.
