Beaches
Chesapeake Beach is the closest beach to our house (one mile!). It's about a 20-minute walk, 10-min bike ride, or 3-min drive. Parking can be very hard to find during the summer, especially if you get to the beach after around 9am. You can try to find parking at Chesapeake Beach Park, or in the neighborhood (Lauderdale Ave, Bayview Ave, Chubb Lake Ave, etc.) but be careful to READ THE SIGNS where parking is not allowed. If you can bring a bike with you, that's the best way to get to the beach without having to worry about parking.
