Reviews
"Fantastic state park, very clean. Half the beach is dog friendly year round. After October 1st the entire beach through Maryland is all dog friendly. Bathrooms are available and snacks if you don’t pack a cooler of food. Like all beaches, if there is off shore wind beware of the blackhead flies! They will eat you and your dog all up. Definitely a great section of the beach since there are no homes or buildings blocking the views."
"Super nice beach, two days in a road and we found it clean and very spacious... residents enjoy free parking with a proper permit."
"Beautiful day. Clean and refreshing ocean water. Sand was so soft. Great lifeguards and pleasant people."
"Great place but get there early. We got there right when they opened and got a good spot. We stayed all day and had a front and center position. If you're bringing things, make sure youre willing to strong arm it all the way or bring a sand cart (highly recommend). There were sand wheelchairs and a good rubber pathway that takes you to the beach. Lifeguards were there and started around 9 and left promtly at 5pm. They need everyone out of the water at 5, but theres no rules about if you go back in after they leave. Waves were wild, it was a yellow kind of day but the kids handled it well. Just need to dive under the waves and get out a little ways and it was perfect fun. Bathrooms and wash off station. There's also a little snack shack for some typical food, which was pretty good (fries, chicken tenders, hotdogs, etc). Watch out as the birds are ruthless"
"A great kid friendly beach with decent parking prices ($5 in state $10 out of state) and a beautiful sandy beach. I love that there are showers available as your leaving the beach and the bath house with restrooms. Our kids loved playing in the sand for hours and the water was nice and warm. Overall great experience."
