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: Make…

Cacapon Resort State Park Lake
At under two hours away, Cacapon Resort State Park in West Virginia is a nice option for beachin for a day trip or an overnight at the resort which has buckets of activities. I enjoyed a serene hour there, with only me and a few teenage lifeguards starting the season on Memorial Day weekend. There…

Kentmorr Beach Rules
Less than an hour drive took me and my little lady to The Kentmorr Beach Bar & Grill south on Kent Island. We were able to snag one of the few outdoor tables left for lunch and followed up with hanging out on the sand and taking in the bay. We were happy with our…

Betterton Beach
Finally made it out to this beach on my bucket list for the summer. Betterton Beach is a free, large bay beach that is…. JELLYFISH FREE! The catch? It’s about 1.5hours away with no traffic. We got there as early as we could because we were not sure about the parking situation, and encountered an…

In August last year, the mayor, lietuenant governor, and a number of others celebrated on the site that is now public property and they will focus on conversation of this…

Beverly Triton
Updating to add the big reveal. The beach that started our whole sand exploration. During the pandemic, we were lucky to learn about Beverly Triton beach. The beach was best described as no frills and largely unknown. We rarely would tell people about it with fear of the small parking lot filling up and wasting…

North Beach
We begin our local beach adventures at North Beach, MD. Lucky for us it is a beautiful weekend (my birthday weekend!) for March and the weather treated us to 70 degrees and partly cloudy. The beach was about an hour drive for us. As it was off-season we had a few advantages. No fees, easy…

All for the T.I.T.S.
Hi! I am Bonnie, and I live in Silver Spring, Maryland with my three babes- one hub and two youngish kids that are at least old enough to wipe their own butts (maybe not so effectively yet though). I grew up in NJ and spent many summers at the Jersey Shore. I didn’t love it…
