"Location: 4500 14A St. S.W. This might be the best named beach in town. While there is some sand along the banks of the meandering Elbow River at Sandy Beach Park, there’s not a lot of it. Popular with dogs, toddlers, and rafters, Sandy Beach is actually more pebbly than sandy, but it’s on a quiet riverbank that can be crowded with rafters on the weekend."

"This is a great spot for first-dates or couples with fur babies. Go in the summer or fall for a barbecue or picnic beside the Elbow River down at Sandy Beach. Up on the ridge at off-leash River Park, stop for a chat on a bench and take in the perfect view of the downtown skyline while your pooch frolics on the hillside."

"Sandy Beach is one of those places you just want to pick up a sandwich or coffee from a local inner-city hot spot and head down to the shores of the river for a sunny afternoon. There is so much to do and see here all surrounded by some of Calgary's hottest inner-city neighbourhoods. Learn more about Sandy Beach"
