[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP again.  Of the places you've listed that are on the water, which ones have a beach that a young child can play on (build sand castles) and water you can swim in? I know none are great because, but I can't help that we can't travel further.  (I have tried to ask this question on DCUM before, and people just argued with me about why we couldn't go further, so I'm super grateful that you all are giving suggestions!)[/quote]

I just recommended greenwell state park. There is a nice small beach with beautiful sand. The water is not deep and no water enclosure for kids (it gets deep eventually so young kids need to be supervised in water).

Sandy point state park was pretty shallow. Also look at lakes, I know the state parks in MD, not so much VA which may be closer to you. The greenbrier state park lake is very nice for little kids and they have enclosures to swim that are shallow. Lake Habeeb (rocky gap state park) is also sandy, shallow, and great for kids. Cunningham falls state park also have nice lake good for kids to swim (the lake was closed last year so check their website when it reopens).

Also areas on the Chesapeake bay are not deep like the sandy point and Calvert cliffs state park (this one has a longish walk between parking and beach).
