First off, it's only an hour from my house. That's awesome. The drive went great and the weather was PERFECT. I recruited several friends to come along, which helped a LOT. Unfortunately, no one who had children any where near Sheely's age was able to come, which bummed her out quite a bit. She found a great 4 year old girl to play with, though :)
One annoying thing: since it's a municipal beach and not a regional park, you do have to pay. $5 per person. However, here are the good things: bathrooms RIGHT there, nice sand, fun pier to play on, a huge wooden pirate ship to play on, they have the beach NETTED OFF so I did not see ONE JELLYFISH the entire time. IN AUGUST! That's worth $5 a person, for my crew. Sheely's got jellyfish-phobia. The water is super shallow, although the mud/sand is pretty slimy once you get past the rocks. There are hardly any waves (which can be good or bad, depending on whatcha like).
We had a fantastic time, I'd definitely go again.
A view of the beach where we played, from out on the pier:
How Sheely spent much of our day: in time out
all the kids!!
the mommies (and an aunt)
my three sweet ones in their floaties
the mud was a big draw for my boys
there are two sides to the beach - after you pay you can go right or left of the pier. On the left is the pirate ship, so it was more crowded. We chose the less crowded right side.
see the nets keeping those jellies away??

I have never been there. Maybe if I am ever bored in MD again...
I actually love the picture of Sheely's time out. Ya gotta capture those sometimes too. And Preston swinging on the rings. Nice pics!
