Ferry Point Park

This small secluded beach is a short walk from the parking lot at the Chesapeake Bay Heritage Center. The water is shallow, so it tends to be warmer and you can venture out pretty far. Note that this is a nature preserve. Umbrellas and coolers are prohibited. Beach chairs, blankets and food are allowed.
