Everything could improve here! From the employees and lack of customer service to the route cops that patrol the area, nasty stinky toilets, dirty waters& areas, no music allowed not even for you to play on your phone!!! All of this and you have to pay $10 to get in each person!! are you out of your minds!? Look at the reviews unless you're looking for shark teeth or something like that, do not bother.. heck, even then there's better free beaches. It should be free. It's public waters. Does not belong to the people to try to make money off of! Paying for beaches in general is a joke it's part of mother, nature, & we're there trying to enjoy This bitch should definitely be free !! If you're going to charge, don't be stingy and ask for $10 or even $7 -Even some of the best beaches I've been to have all of them free. The only time I paid a fee it was $3 and it was a very well-maintained clean area with food on beach, trash, cans, and clean bathrooms and an amazing beach. Stop profiting off of people in these deceitful ways! This is where we go to be dressed free to listen to music to enjoy mother, nature to get away from the everyday struggles of fees, and payments in the real world! read more

It's not the ocean but pretty solid beach not far from DC. Way better than sandy point! No jellyfish (net keeps them out I think). It was $24 for two of us in one car. Good for families. There's a playground and good bathrooms and showers. I'd come back with kids. read more

If you're looking to have a little fun in the sun without sitting in miles and miles of traffic Breezy Point Beach and Campground is your go-to! Located about an hour away from DC, it is a low key spot that is perfect for young families. There are picnic tables and grills, a playground, sand, and swimming area (netted off so you don't even have to worry about jellyfish). The water can be clear or not depending on the weather but I found it to be refreshing and enjoyable for what it's worth. This area is located near the Calvert Cliffs area so there is also lots of shark teeth to be found. If you go in with low expectations, you will be pleasantly surprised. The beach is (mostly) clean and pretty quiet except the sounds of families having some good old-fashioned fun. There is an area to use the bathroom, wash away sand and they even have a little concession stand for snacks like nachos and ice cream. It's first come, first served so come early in the morning and be home by nap time! It can't get any better than that. read more

Love this Campground! Beach is small but if you want to skip the hours of sitting in traffic to put your toes in the sand, Breezy Point is it. My girlfriends and I came for a girls trip. We stayed at a friends camper in the Campground. All of the lots have running water, which is a plus. Conveniently the bath house was straight across from our camper. The 6 of us felt very safe at night walking the grounds. All of the other campers were extremely friendly. Campers rent their lots on a 6 months per year. For campers on the beach, the cost is $3000 a season. Beachfront is a lot of fun! Walk out your door onto the sand. Summer fun! read more

So beautiful, peaceful, calm beach. Not too much people, with no waves, clean water, picnic areas, restrooms and public showers. We payed 36$ total for 3 adults. It is just 1 hour drive from Alexandria. But the main disadvantage is Jellyfish :( and net doesn't help...If this issue could be solve - this place would be just perfect! read more

Stayed one night on the campgrounds. Overall, had a great time, but it's really what you make it. The beach isn't the best, nor is the water - but the way it's set up made for a nice night. Lots of RVs, and all the people were very nice. The bathrooms leave A LOT to be desired, and were pretty gross in general. However, i assume they are cleaned daily, as they were cleaning when we were leaving. So that's something. Brought a tent and originally set it up against the rail on our site, but on the beach side. Couldn't understand why no one else was set up on the beach - until later that evening when the winds started picking up (hence breezy point). The stakes didn't hold in the sand, and we were glad not to lose the tent. Lol. Moved on the inside of the rail, and tied it down the rail, and picnic table. That did the trick, and had no problems after that. We brought a propane portable grill, which was great - but didn't take advantage of the fire pits available. Next time we will. Need to bring or find your own wood. We happened to go on a day/night with perfect weather, so that certainly helped to make the experience nicer. read more

This was my first time camping on the beach. Overall it wasn't bad. My kids enjoyed it! Each site has water and electricity which is awesome. The pier is long, its nice for a romantic walk at night. Crabbing and fish paid off for many. Remember its the bay. Pre-Covid19 I would have given them 5 stars. I would like to give them 3.5 stars. Here is why: The campsites are very close together. My neighbors were probably exactly 6ft away. Yes this is standard requirement for Covid but how often are you looking at a person thinking that cant be 6ft. This the design of the lot. I just would have liked more privacy. If your looking for seclusion this is not it. I could look into my neighbors camper. The set up of the fire ring was way to close to our tent so we had to physically move it...not fun. The bathroom was nice but I have 2 complaints. They did clean the restrooms, I wish it was more often. The shower set up is less then desirable. There are only 2 showers. No doors curtains. You go thru the first curtain and there is the 1st shower, with another curtain to the left. The curtain does give you privacy and your clothes are left on the opposite side where the next person walks thru to get to shower number 2. The showers need to be redone. The 2nd one has better water pressure. The office staff is very professional and helpful. I loved the key card access at night, I felt safe. * The firewood is cheaper at the local store. * This beach has Smack aka many jellyfish * If you don't dispose of your trash, large vulture will eat it. read more

Can't speak on the campgrounds and those prices but for a beach day, breezy point is way over priced for what it is. I paid significantly less for the top beaches in Florida. Sad we can't spend more time here as it is our closest beach but it is just not worth it. read more

$6 to visit the beach on a week day? And $10 for a weekend or holiday? WTH? Is that PER PERSON??? From the outside it looks nice but in April it is closed. It is only open from May 1 to October 31. If you want a free beach, drive a little north to Bayport Park. It is *much* smaller so you might not find parking, but it is free! read more

Quiet and my neighbors were so friendly. Beautiful camp sites. The only thing is that the jellyfish were plentiful so we didn't spend a lot of time in the water. But it was still a great time. Visit the market outside the campground and pick up one of their blt sandwiches. We were told they're made in-house. It was one of the best I have ever had. read more

Yeah this really is a "Dang I want to go to the beach but I don't want to drive far" joint. I first came here with some acquaintances over summer and it was crowded, a bit dirty, and the water looked a little sus, but it really was the "beach experience". Only a little over an hour away from NOVA, this beach makes for a perfect little day trip. The bay offers all kinds of activities like paddling and boating. They also have picnic areas where people had tents and barbeques. If you want food, they have a great shack with cheap snacks and treats which is nice for a mid-day break. It's a really small bay so you'll want to get there at a decent time to lay out, but otherwise, it's perfect for what it is! read more

After all afternoon of searching for local beaches. Not more than 2 hours away, I decided to drive out here because I saw a playground in the pictures so that my kids could get outside and play. Nothing on the website says that they are only open to Calvert County residents. But they will not even let you in unless they check your ID and you have to pay. What a huge #fail for labor day weekend. read more

Asked about jellyfish before paying $75 for our family and was told there were no jellyfish in the netted area. I got stung within 30 seconds of entering the water. I watched every single adult and child enter the netted water area and every single one was stung. Water also had that lovely petroleum layer on top. If you have zero desire to swim, nice area. Seeing we had 4 small children and no warning is disgusting. read more

Breezy Point Beach & Campground 5300 Breezy Point Rd, Chesapeake Beach, MD 20732 Beach carmen vladarau 99 points   2 hours ago Today I was insulted by the gatekeeper at Breezy Point beach, while the police officer (id-5272-Bacovscki stood there and seemed to approve the insult. I was told that Americans don't like immigrants and I should leave back to my country. We entered the park with two cars around 8:50AM, paid cash 70 dollars and only one receipt was received. We were in for maybe 30 minutes trying to find a place in the shade because we were there with 4 kids, the youngest 2 years old. We couldn't find any spot, so we decided to leave. I asked for a refund, and I was told that there's no refund. I said that that's not fair( their brochure is mentioning that only the reservation fee is not refundable), and I don't understand why is not possible to refund me,since they take only cash. I was insisting to give me my receipt, and the police officer pushed me to leave to my car, and he also said that he can bend me.I was outside their property when he did that. The gatekeeper brought me somebody's receipt with 6:45 am imprinted on it and I left. So, this was my experience at Breezy Point. I am living in this country for about 20 years, I am a citizen but nobody told me to leave because Americans don't like us in here. Shame on you, gatekeeper, shame on you police officer Bacovski!!!! PS.Anyway, as far as I could see, that's a very bad place to bring your family in. I am definitely not recommending this beach. Like Your location read more

We have been visiting Breezy Point and we love it. George and all the staff are great. You can do a beach day or camp. (Get reservations early in the year, they go fast!). However there are some things worth mentioning. 1. The beach to the right of the pier is for people paying the camp fee ONLY. If you do not have a camp pass and key you are trespassing. If you want to stay in the right side beach PAY the $50.00 and do not bother the people who is actually paying to stay (and more than likely made reservations MONTHS in advance). If I personally see anyone who is not camping I let the management know. Management can get a little better by enforcing this. 2. Alcohol is tolerated. That said if you act a fool and harass other campers/beach goers just FYI a sheriff is on site to prevent people disturbing the peace. 3. If you are camping quiet times are after 11pm. People want their rest. If you do not obey the ordinance, the Sheriff will give you a ticket. This is a beautiful family beach not a all night long club. Be respectful. 4. Get there early. If you want a good spot on the paying beach (not camp) you need to get there around 6-7 am (a spot with a table and a grill). Cash only- 10 dollars a person.\ We love Breezy Point and will be back to see George and the crew, they are the best! The Beach is beautiful and clean and they have a net for jellyfish. read more

Nice small beach. You MUST arrive early!!! They open at 6 on the weekends and when I say it fills up fast I mean it! It's $10 a person to enter. You can get a little grill to use and there are trash cans all over. This beach doesn't do like ocean city and have a beach cleaner so it's not the most nostalgic beautiful ones but it's taken care of. I saw a review of someone saying they are Racist and THATS A LIE! If you arrive late and expect to get a nice spot on the beach that's not gonna happen and once you enter you don't get a refund because you don't see any spots you like. They close the beach when there are too many ppl so if you get in there's a spot somewhere. Also for our party we arrived at 11 and the beach was FULL of Hispanic ppl. I'm from Spain and my husband is black and ALL OF THE STAFF AND POLICE were nice and respectful to everyone. I came the year before and had no issues either. It wasn't as full tho so somebody told somebody and now it's not a well kept secret lol. I removed a star because they don't clean the sand and I stepped on a few rusted beer tops. Not the nicest feeling read more

This is a great day trip if you live in northern Virginia. My family has been coming here for years, and always enjoy finding lots of fossil shark teeth, wood, and ray dental plates, as well as the convenience of flush-toilets instead of porta-potties. I feel like it used to be much cheaper to get in--somewhere around $6 per car instead of per person--and I do feel like they should replace the swimming nets if they are going to charge that much. However, the jellyfish are not large, and even if you happen to run into one it isn't a huge deal, just keep an eye out and bring some baking soda. The beach is clean, aside from the occasional dead fish. Nice shady picnic area with some grills as well. One time we saw a herd of rays swimming offshore, which was super cool. If you're looking to get away to the beach without the hassle of traffic to VA Beach or OC, this isn't a bad place at all! read more

So we went here hoping for a beach day... Now, I should mention were from San Diego, home to some of the worlds best and most beautiful beaches so we were disappointed. The beach was a good size, but the water was murky and didn't seem very clean. Also, I didn't like how they charge 6 per person. If they charge, they should at least keep the beach better maintained. Not going back here again... But I guess it's not horrible lol read more

We rolled in here to check out the pier and fossil collecting. The pier isn't too big, but the fishermen who were on it said the rocks were biting. We found lots of small teeth and several larger bones. The bathrooms were clean. It is expensive to come here (more than Flag or Brownies). I don't think we'll be back as the fishing is better at Flag and the collecting is awesome at Brownies. read more

They don't allow music anymore not even on your phone these beach had becoming a bored place you pay a lot to get in and you can't play music Seriously read more

Honestly, I'm pretty surprised by the negative yelp reviews. We visited the beach for the first time last weekend (on a Sunday) and were impressed that it hadn't filled up yet when we got there around 11 or 1130 (we like to go to Flag Ponds but it was full). There were a bunch of people hanging out in the shade who clearly got their early and planned to stay all day- hammocks hanging from the trees, grills firing, tables set- but there was plenty of room to set up in the sand. The jellyfish are mysteriously absent this year, but we still opted to swim in the netted area with our toddler, and she had a blast. There is a bathhouse and a concession stand (didn't go in the bath house but got some ice cream from the stand), which is nice. Honestly, we really had not complaints. For a bay beach and a family with little kids, it's pretty nice! read more

Small beach with a great entrance price ($6). The sand is clean and there is a net that keeps the fisherman and boats out of the swimming area. There are clean bathrooms and a nice picnic area. Great for kids and day trips. Note: there are sometimes a few biting flies and there are no activities around other than sand and water. read more

Never made it here only stopped by to see where its was located, was gonna go sunday morning early because the lot fills up rather quickly we drove their about 11am, before goiung jetsking, and the beach was already filled with people still looked like they were still letting people come in thou it is a fee of $10 to get in the beach, and the place close at dusk.......will be going back on a later date to enjoy. read more

I actually really enjoyed my stay here. Would have given it 5 stars but the ugly birds in the morning scared the crap out of me. Met some really cool people while here. Would definitely recommend and come back. read more

Dirty, smelly, crowded, and lousy with biting flies and jellyfish. If this isn't the worst beach on earth, it's certainly close. $10/person for the privilege. Cash only. Enjoy! read more

Came on a weekday with 4 people and was charged $24 ($6/person). Pretty good place to go crabbing. The drive leading to the beach was pretty nice. Certain areas were a bit smelly. Trash was spotted all along the beach. Be careful swimming out here (jellyfish GALORE). On the upside, they allow alcohol. read more

The campground is great! Really clean, worth the money, friendly neighbors, and BEAUTIFUL beach and water on the bay. The yelp score made me really worried to try it, but other low scores are simply commenting on the fact that the public beach costs $10 for entry. The stars don't reflect the quality of the space or people. Would definitely go back! read more

Staying in Chesapeake Beach and between north beach and it's really high fees and Breezy Beach, we chose the latter. The website boasted concessions and rentals and lower entry fees. During a weekday visit no concessions are open, so we had to leave to get lunch; there were only 2 single use bathrooms open; and there were no rentals available. Good beach for a family with young kids, but come prepared! read more

Nice little place to be away for the day. It's under an hour from No Va. Inexpensive to get in. We arrived at noon thinking there was going to be no more picnic tables and grills left but there were still a few left. There is a small playground for kids to play as an alternative. There's a shaded area for those want to take a break from the sun. You must bring cash to pay to get in. I guess they don't like to deal with plastic. Their website doesn't state that information. This is an incovenience. read more

Great beach! Wasn't crowded at all when we arrived on a Friday at 4PM. The water wasn't amazing, but it works! It is extremely great for kids! They have a jellyfish net to keep them away, however my family and I saw a baby jellyfish. Not an issue as long as there is no encounter. All in all, nice quick getaway spot. Nice workers and great amount of picnic tables. It was also very clean! Despite the chicken drumstick we found in the water.. but it was nice! read more

Don't waste your time or money unless you enjoy a cliff and smelly porta potties. Smell is so bad that my 8 year-old daughter refused to use it and pleaded to leave the beach immediately. We were there for 25 mins only to convince my daughter to stay although she was right to leave the premise. I admit, I made a mistake not asking for a refund. I didn't know that I could've until the receptionist at the office informed me that I should have asked right then since I stayed less than 30 minutes. I called management. Management refused, reporting that they can't keep up who stayed longer or shorter durations. $28 down the drain, such a waste of time & money. Management...instead of offering a free pass, an apology would have been nice. If I didn't enjoy the "beach" the first time, why would I want to return again? It was not what I expected- dirty water, filthy porta potties, and simply boring. However, if you enjoy collecting sharks' teeth- go for it. read more

Clean and quiet beach, perfect for relaxing. Our only complaint is they were crumping and cleaning the used coal canisters while folks were standing next to theme we got ashes blown in our faces. If they had waited until the beach was empty that would have been great. read more

NO REFUNDS, what a steal, we had a family of 7 paid $70 for 10 minutes to look for no where to seat, after we found a place we were told to move away from there because it was reserved, at least they could of have the courtesy to put a sign, HORRIBLE PLACE for service! read more

I drove 1.5 hours just to go to this beach. When I arrived I was told it was cash only to park and swim. Unfortunately I only had three dollars and was told that the ATM machine in the general store up the street was out of cash. I tried to buy something at both a bait and tackle shop and the general store and get some cash but was told curtly 'no'. I even approached a family on a boat at the marina next door explaining my situation and asked them if they could find it in their hearts to give me seven dollars. Their response was an firm and unfriendly 'absolutely not'. I was extremely saddened by and frustrated with the lack of hospitality I received. If this is supposed to be a tourist destination whomever is in charge is not doing a very good job. I do not recommend going to this beach nor do I recommend visiting the Chesapeake area in general. read more

It's 103 degrees. Real feel much higher. I drove an hour and a half there. Found a cop blocking the entrance. Despite visible open spots in the lot, we were turned away. Then scolded as we tried to street park. So I went to another street nearby and parked. Toted hot, excited to hit the beach three-year-olds with me. Get to the gate and am told by a 10 year old employee that they do not permit "walk ins." I asked, as my kids wilted (literally) next to me if she was serious. Do. Not. Bother. Went up to North Beach. Still busy but even with a festival happening we found parking and easily entered the beach. Breezy Point sucks. read more

We camped here in the fall. This was a great quick camping trip from the Washington DC area. The sites are small and the privacy factor is zero--different from camping in wooded campgrounds. But every campsite faces the beach. We were able to watch the sun rise from our tent. The view is fabulous. There is a fishing pier adjacent to the campground, and many campers took advantage of that as well. We found some sharks teeth/fossils on the beach as well. Every site has electric. There are half-barrels to use as firepits. Most of the campground is taken up by folks with seasonal sites--it was interesting to walk down that way and see what people had set up. There is a small store in the marina next to the campground that sells ice and necessities, but we had to go drive to buy some firewood. Overall, it's not the greatest campground, but to be able to camp right on the beach and be so close to home is a combination that cannot be beat. read more
