Brought a Boy Scout Troop from Southern Maryland. Weather outstanding when we visited. Troop had well-organized camp sites. Everything well-marked. Really fun time / walk to local beach / sea shore. Tons of horseshoe crabs. Great views.

A nice, well maintained park with a lot of nature. It's nice to be on the wooded trails near the beach. The beach is nice too. There's an informative museum that explains the historical significance of the area.

Not much happening here today, but at one time it played an important part of history. Getting in may require some time as you go through a vehicle inspection. Allow about 10 minutes.

What a sight!It was so beautiful there. Warm and almost cloudless sky. I saw many swimming dogs, cute kids, shirtless guys with nice muscles, funny bikers, family picnics, etc...I don't know how much the parking lot. Maybe $5-10. I've never paid here because I park on a street and walk extra.Anyway I was so happy and relaxing there. I should do this more when it's getting warmer.

I love it, love it! That is EXCEPT for the name!! I still call it Seashore State Park ... and I'm sorry but that's what it is and always will be to me and many, many others! The trails are incredible, the foliage beautiful and it meanders between the Chesapeake Bay, Long Creek and Broad Bay!! Beautiful!
