December 20, 2021 Marlin Saiz

Maryland is known as “America in Miniature” because of its great variations in topography and culture. This makes it a perfect east coat travel destination for those who would like to experience a little bit of everything. From amusement parks, to beaches, to mountains and historical sites, there is plenty to see and do. Each region of Maryland provides its own unique and fun activities to do. If you're headed for some fun in the sun in Ocean City on its eastern coast, be sure not to miss the Ocean City Beach, the Boardwalk, or Trimper's Rides and Amusement Park for an all-ages fun experience. Central Maryland is home to a Six Flags theme park, the Annapolis Golf Club, and countless hubs of art and culture such as the African Art Museum and Annapolis Opera, Inc. Heading to western Maryland? It is perfect for lovers of nature and the outdoors, with the Washington Monument State Park, Wisp Resort ski slopes, and the spectacular Muddy Creek Falls.

Reviewed By DelMarVaJohn - Dover, United States

This is a fine public swimming beach - with a section reserved for dogs and their owners! There is also an outdoor amphitheater, family picnic area and trails through the surrounding woods. Terrific view of the Bay Bridge. There is a fresh water fountain and wash area just off the beach and public restrooms are nearby as well. The historic clubhouse building is a popular wedding and event venue.

Stopped here on a whim as we were passing through the area. This is a very nice, well maintained park with plenty of beach. There is a pavilion, picnic benches, grills, plenty of port o pots, playground and is dog friendly.Took a lovely stroll along the beach with our dog which we had to ourselves except for a couple of people we saw in the distance.

Rocky Point Beach and Park

Reviewed By Pannipannini - Maryland, United States

The map showed walking trails from the park. We started on the golf course trail (starts right across sailing center). Unless you play golf and know when/how to dodge active players - don’t go any further. The 0.25 mile trail to golf course is your endpoint. Beyond that, nice views and serenity to be had at this park - especially weekdays.

Ferry Park

Reviewed By DelMarVaJohn - Dover, United States

A small beach that is never crowded, Rock Hall’s swimming beach and gazebo, known locally as Ferry Park, is located on Beach Road - just turn left near the foot of Rock Hall Avenue. There is a boardwalk with benches, picnic tables, barbecue stands, and pavilions, all with outstanding views to the Chesapeake Bay and the Bay Bridge to the southwest. The water is fairly shallow out some distance and there is a protected very shallow area that is perfect for children.
