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.


Reservations Required!

Maryland state parks are rolling out reservation requirements for entry. Great to make sure you get a parking spot and didn’t drive an hour for nothing, but also means no more spontaneity for some places. Reservations only open about a week prior so you have some ability to gauge the weather.

Affected beaches are:

  • Greenbrier State Park
  • North Point State Park
  • Point Lookout State Park
  • Sandy Point State Park
