SUMMARY:Lights on the Bay @ Sandy Point State Park
DESCRIPTION:The beach at Sandy Point State Park is a summer must\, but have you seen it in winter? From November 23-January 3\, 2027\, the shoreline glows in a whole new light! \nYou’re invited to Lights on the Bay — a scenic two-mile illuminated drive along the shore of the Chesapeake Bay. A beloved holiday tradition for more than 30 years\, the show features over 70 animated and stationary displays lining the roadway. \nThere are lots of ways to make your visit more immersive. Tune your radio to holiday music as you cruise\, and grab a pair of 3D glasses (sold at the park entrance) to watch select displays pop. Pick up a scavenger hunt card at the gate\, too — spot the hidden items along the route and enter for a chance to win a prize! \nFurry family members are welcome to ride along\, too. Don’t miss Lights & Leashes — three nights when you can stroll the route on foot with your leashed pup. Santa stops by during Lights & Leashes and on select days throughout the season\, so check the website for his schedule. \nEven better\, proceeds benefit the SPCA of Anne Arundel County\, the county’s largest and oldest animal welfare organization. \nThe show runs nightly\, including holidays. Buy tickets online to save time at the gate\, or purchase them there. Military personnel and first responders receive discounted admission at the gate with valid ID on December 21 and 27. \nCome back when the weather warms up\, too. Sandy Point State Park spans 786 acres along the bay\, with sandy beaches made for swimming\, sandcastles\, and picnics. If the beach isn’t your speed\, nature trails wind through the park\, many with sweeping bay views.
