    Beautiful, hidden gem of a beach northeast of Kilmarnock. Easy walk from the small parking lot along a wooded boardwalk, nice swimming once you get there.

    Great little beach for a picnic or a walk! Good swimming for kids. Small parking lot so if it's not a weekday, get there early.

    I never knew this place existed! I brought my niece and nephew and kiddo here and they really…read moreenjoyed themselves! The next day we came back with friends and the kids played for hours! The splash pad is wonderful! There is even a sunscreen dispenser! My kiddo is allergic to most types so that's a no no for us, personally. However, it's so great that it's there for others if needed! The playground was really unique and even though there's not alot of equipment compared to others, everything is so different that the kids spent hours climbing, spinning and sliding! I've been looking for a dog park and so glad to find one not too far from home! And the bathrooms are sooo clean! I was shocked!

    Kilmarnock Towne Centre Park is located in small town America. The park has something for…read moreeveryone: a children's play area, a trail around the park's perimeter for walking, a dog park, beautiful landscape that is maintained by a bioretention system, an outdoor stage area known as Half Shell Stage where local talent performs, and amphitheater seating. Additionally, near the playground area is a water feature which children can run through on hot days. If you're into reading, the Kilmarnock Community Library is across the street. The library also has a children's area that little ones will love. The park is a must see if in the area.

    As much as I like Southern Maryland, realistically, if you drive down from DC or Baltimore or…read morethereabouts thinking that the very last tip of land reaching out into the Chesapeake is going to be a great place to visit, you're likely to be disappointed. The site has a lighthouse in classic Maryland style, but it's rarely open. There are some places where you can get in the water, but many where you cannot. The conditions out here can be a little rough, either from too much wind or, immediately inland, fetid swampiness. The history of the place as a Civil War penal colony is interesting. There's some placards and such, but not an enormous amount of actual stuff to do when I've visited. It should be noted that while these are not part of the park, visitors will see a memorial to the site's many lost inhabitants and a separate Confederate memorial as they drive up. For locals, getting a pass may be worthwhile. For those visiting the area, there are a lot of prettier and more interesting sites you'd be passing on the way here.

    Loved this state park--such an unexpected surprise! Unfortunately, no ghost sightings inside the…read morepark, but plenty of eerie vibes and fascinating history to make up for it. From the Civil War hospital grounds to the old lighthouse, the stories practically come alive as you explore. The views of the Chesapeake Bay are stunning, and the trails are peaceful, with just enough of a spooky undertone to keep things interesting. Lots of historical plaques to spark your curiosity, SOOO - If you're into history, lore, and maybe catching a glimpse of the paranormal (or just a beautiful sunset), Point Lookout should definitely be on your list!
