Bay Front Park in Chesapeake Beach

I had a craving to visit a beach before the weather got cold, even for just a day.  So we drove to Chesapeake Beach and went to Bay Front Park with the dog.  The weather was gorgeous and we walked around and talked with lots of other dogs.

I posted the dogs on my Facebook page, so here is the beach.  It was quite interesting with some logs, cliffs, shark's teeth, small horseshoe crabs, a little wildlife, a boardwalk and a bridge.  It was more of a walking beach than a swimming beach, since the water cleanliness was poor earlier in the summer.  There were no showers or flush toilets.  In the summer, it would have cost $10-$18 each to visit as a non Calvert resident.  We had lunch and walked around and took pictures.  Later we had a lovely outdoor meal at the Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa and drove to North Beach for the sunset and ice cream.  It was a very memorable day.

     Cliffs

 

     Jim suggested photographing the cliff through the hole in the log.  It was a little tricky to get the right angle and I had to walk in the water to access the spot.

     Little bridge over the inlet.  The creek was bigger on the right side.

     The boardwalk to the historical area was on the left.
