Wanna Get Away? Steamboat Beach is a good place for that. It's located in the beautiful Sacramento Delta. My wife and I took a short drive on Freeport Blvd towards the Sacramento Delta. We drove through Freeport, Clarksburg, and eventually landed in Courtland at the Steamboat Bridge. There's a small private sandy beach below the bridge owned by a pear farmer. He comes by in his big straw hat and collects the $5 fee. There are picnic tables and nice areas to park butt on the banks of the river. We brought chairs. We were lucky enough to have the entire beach to ourselves this gorgeous afternoon. There were a few folks in boats anchored and floating nearby. Everybody was enjoying the lazy sunday afternoon. We packed a lunch with sandwiches, snacks and beverages. Mojitos! We also brought our fishing poles. Who knows what we'll have for lunch... Salami or fish? Well it was salami cuz the fish weren't biting. Maybe they were also just enjoying the lazy sunday afternoon at Steamboat Beach.
