Located at the intersection of Fishing Creek and the Chesapeake Bay, Chesapeake Beach is defined by its waterfront locale. Chesapeake Beach offers a small-town feel along with plenty of delicious seafood at bayside restaurants, secluded beach access, and fishing and boating opportunities.
Chesapeake Beach also features an extensive water park, boardwalk, and fishing pier. The Chesapeake Beach Railway Museum and Trail showcases the area’s history and Bayfront Park boasts stunning vistas of the Chesapeake Bay. While Chesapeake Beach exudes a quiet, laidback atmosphere, it’s also within an hour’s drive of Annapolis, Washington DC, and a host of metropolitan amenities.
