‹‹ All-Things-Water

If you’ve ever driven over the Bay Bridge, spied a beach along the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, and thought it looked fun — we agree!

Sandy Point State Park, a 786-acre Maryland destination, is a natural treasure with sandy beaches perfect for swimming, castle-building, and picnics! If the beach isn’t your thing, there’s also plenty of nature trails worth exploring, offering breathtaking bay views.

For your safety, lifeguards are on duty during select times from Memorial Day through Labor Day. At other times, swimming is at your own risk; designated swim areas are enforced.

Important! Reservations are now required to visit Sandy Point on weekends and holidays during the peak season (from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day). Same-day drive-up entry is not allowed on those busy days without a reservation.

After a hike, be sure to stop by the Sandy Point Nature Center, located inside the park at South Beach Plz. The Nature Center does not have daily operating hours, but offers self-guided exhibits about the plants and animals of the Chesapeake Bay, along with seasonal special events. Next to the nature center, there’s a playground, too!
