Note that its on a river and not an ocean. It's great for what it is, but FYI.


There is literally nothing there and if a river beach is what you want there are plenty closer.

It’s not just a map thing. There’s beaches in the technical sense marked on maps. Then there are what most people would call a beach.


Like Sandy Beach in Annapolis


Exactly!


It’s actually called Sandy Point. It’s not that great. The “sand” is more like dirt.


And often super crowded.

Rehoboth or Lewes, DE

Rehoboth is on the ocean and has a big boardwalk, and Lewes is on the bay.

Bethany and Fenwick are roughly 20 minutes further. Ditto for Ocean City, MD.

Catoctin Mountain State Park and Greenbrier State Park have lakes with beaches. Both about an hour from Gburg. If you want salt water, southern Maryland is about an hour and a half away and there is North Beach, Breezy Point, Flag Ponds and Calvert Cliffs on the Chesapeake Bay. Ocean City is ~3 hours away.

Like full on beach or just some sand for the little kids to play in?
