Beverly Triton Beach Park

Now a public park! Beautiful views with sandy beaches on the Chesapeake Bay! Nature preserve with well marked trails along the Chesapeake Bay & around wetlands and lakes! Great place to hike for hours or to go to the beach & soak up the sun!

Drove here after being turned away from sandy point for overcrowding and the sign says, «no swimming».
All we want is to go swimming at a beach and it’s mind boggling that it is so difficult to find a public beach to swim at. Don’t need lifeguards just a place to cool off by the sand for a few hours this afternoon.

What a quaint little hide-​away! We finally found a dog friendly beach to enjoy with our hounds. This was Willow’s first beach adventure and once she realized the (tiny) waves weren’t going to hurt her, she plopped herself right down. Even tried to lay on her side until she realized the water would cover her head.
The area was clean and the port-​a-​potties were well cared for. There is also a good deal of parking but no real places to sit in the beach unless you come prepared. There were a few benches scattered about.
The beach is very narrow and not too long but a quiet, hidden gem to be enjoyed!

It’s not far from DC and it free. No need to fight traffic and pay a toll to go over the Bay Bridge to the Eastern Shore. It’s dog friendly and you can allow your dog off leash if it’s well behaved. Just watch out when the jelly fish come out in late July and August.

The Chesapeake Bay is a sadly underutilized resource. This somewhat hidden park south of Annapolis is one of the few areas that’s free and open to the public on the Western Shore; most of the area is private and even the parks often have restrictions that make them inaccessible to the casual visitor. This isn’t a huge stretch of land and doesn’t possess any great aesthetic qualities or amenities, but it’s there, and that’s worth something.
A few unmarked trails lead through the woods, passing a couple of ponds along the way. The beach itself prohibits swimming, but the water is sufficiently shallow and warm that you can wade an appreciable distance into the water. It’s less than a mile long, but it’s verdant and it’s quiet, allowing one to sit in the shade and listen to the light waves and other ambient sounds. You can bring pets, too.
I wouldn’t recommend going any great distance for this park; I went because I was already a good part of the way there. But if you need some fresh air and a dose of peace and quiet, be it known that at least one stretch of that exists in this region.
