At Sandy Point, visitors may immerse themselves in Maryland shore life by trying their hand at crabbing in Chesapeake Bay.

Visitors can rent a motor boat or rowboat, fish or crab at this shorefront park. There is a wheelchair-accessible fishing pier.

Visitors also swim, windsurf and admire the stunning views of the bay, the William Preston Lane bridges and the vessels sailing by.

Sandy Point is ideally located for watching a wide variety of waterfowl.

Picniking, hiking and cross-country skiing are also popular activities.
