I always wonder and am amazed at how people in northern cities enjoy their short summers and warm seasons.
How is the sand at these river beaches? Is it sandy and granular, or is it dusty and dirty at all?

Warmer season's are definitely taken advantage of in northern continental climates, the latest i've been out to river beaches is late September & within a couple months of that there's usually snow on the ground.
The wonderful thing about river beaches is the sand is uniform powdery fine, perfect for walking in and no stones or rocks, the river insures that sand is sorted with finest sand on top, and if its too dusty it just gets blown away or forms into dunes
