Located along the serene end of the Russian River, Monte Rio Beach is the river’s largest public beach comprised of three smaller beaches. Big Rocky Beach, found on the eastern side of the Monte Rio Bridge, is filled with family-oriented beach activities.

Families can play volleyball, kayak, and paddle board out on the water, and enjoy a delicious meal outdoors.

Food may be brought in and prepared in various barbecue areas or purchased from one of the many concessions.

The smaller Sandy Beach and Dutch Bill Beach are popular areas for fishing, fly-fishing, and picnicking.

Monte Rio Beach and its upper parking lot are open to the public all year round.
