We ended up in North Beach this past weekend, how pretty! Small but nice! Boardwalk and all! There is a private beach but it's for locals. Very very cute quaint neighborhood surrounding the "beach" area. Looking at water will never get old. If you're a water baby, or just love looking at water (lakes, oceans, ponds) then this is it! Super beautiful. Love this! Romantic for couples!

Sandy Point is way too crowded and can be over stimulating for people wanting a relaxing yet local beach getaway. North Beach punches above its weight by having that peaceful, charming presence and vibe for you to relax. It is a year around destination, in that sure the beach (sand) might not be open, but the boardwalk is free all year around. I have found myself walking the boardwalk on gorgeous Spring and Fall days not during peak season enjoying myself. There are nice restaurants, eateries, food trucks and other charming venues around to grab smoothies, ice cream, and other delectables. My only gripe is the price of admission for the beach itself for non-county residents is a bit steep and has risen. You can rent an umbrella too, but that also costs more money. However, you do not always need to head to the actual beach and can enjoy the boardwalk and the local venues without having to pay that and get some sightseeing in. This is one of my favorite day-trip destinations in the DMV especially to wind down and relax with some good ole therapeutic peace and tranquility. NB is peaceful and slower paced than a lot of the faster paced locales in the DMV, folks should at least give the beach and town a shot to visit. It is a DMV day-trip destination for sure!

There's lots of space on the "beach" and the water is really shallow so you can walk out a 1/4 mile and still be at waist level. There's no guard on duty policing the beach, so you can bring all the food and liquor you want and have a ball. There are two small portapotties if you need them. The downside (besides the price) is the parking situation. If the lot's full, there's no easy way to access this place, which (perhaps intentionally) limits the number of people who can be here at once. The hike to the beach is 8-10 minutes so if you leave something in the car, sayonara. I'd strongly suggest investing in a cart so you can just roll your chairs, umbrellas and cooler.

The boardwalk trail is accessed from behind the Chesapeake Beach Water Park where it then extends westward along the shore of Fishing Creek.

Fully handicapped-accessible, the pet-friendly Trail is open from dawn until dusk for pedestrians and those on bicycles.

What really makes this park unique is the fact that it has so much local art. A few of the sculptures are permanent, but a number of them are planned to be rotated over time. My favorite sculptures were the ones made out of driftwood - they are both beach-y and very neat to look at. It's a nice place to stop by if you're visiting the area, and it it right off of the North Beach boardwalk.

Awesome local crabs!…read more We were staying in town for a small family vacation and of course we need to get some MD crabs during the summer. Our host had recommended this spot and it did not disappoint. We got a couple dozen crabs and some shrimp and we were stuffed. The crabs were fresh, as I was literally waiting for them to come in from the fisherman in the morning., and waited outside for them to be cooked. The crabs were sweet and stuffed. We loved them! This is a pick up spot, they do not have dine in. I would call in the order as early as you can when they open. I'm sure they run out at some point.

My one fish was about 7 inches and was the biggest fish of the day. We fish on charter boats allot and the difference with this one was the captain of the boat for sure. Usually if their is a boat full of customers who aren't catching the captain moves the boat, this was not the case on our trip. It was like his top priority was to save gas. Well, he saved gas, but his mates lost out on tips and none of our fellow passengers ever plan on returning to the boat again. We understand that sometimes the fishing can be bad, got it. But when a Captain doesn't move to a few different areas to attempt to put the boat on the fish, well that's just unsatisfactory.
