While our previous favorite local beach was getting renovated, me and my three babes explored a bunch of other sandy day getaways. Check out our take on them, and my tips, tricks, and gear for a great beach day in the Washington DC region. In the summer of 2023, seven year old Perry will give his take on some of the places he will get to revisit during camp.


Matapeake Beach, as told by a 7 year old

At the beach I was making a mountain like a foot tall. And I made like a little pool, it was like five feet long with my friend. And it was great. The water was like fine because there was jellyfish and ten kids got stung. The jellyfish were grownups. The water was warm. The sand felt hot. I liked the water the best even though I was in there for a minute. It was fine. I only went up to three and a half feet. It had a bell. The bell was loud if you do it. I saw a 23 year old get stung by a jellyfish, and he said he did not get stung because he didn’t see it. But I saw. But the sand was great. I was trying to not make a flood with the water with my friend and that’s all.
