Just over the bay bridge so not far from the main land. Parking is nice. Restrooms are very modern and clean. Nice trails. Nice bird watch areas. Narrow but enough beach. Grill and benches for picnics are also available

This place is gorgeous for a nice walk. The beach is beautiful to walk along. They do not recommend swimming.. not really good for a swim either because of all the rocks.

Beautiful day for a walk in a wonderful park. The combination of walking through the woods and walking along the sandy shore of the Chesapeake Bay was really terrific. Along the way we had the opportunity to see a hawk fly in front of us …Thanks so much for visiting Harvey!

Difficult to get to because the entrance was closed for construction. We found a place to park at a nearby business and enjoyed walking along the shore. So many different sizes of horseshoe crab washed up on the shore! The walking path to get there was a beautiful shaded Grove full of fall colors.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Could I just come and walk along the beach? Is this park walkable for long walks and is there some save parking area? Do I need to pay tickets to enter this park? If yes, how much? Thank you for your answers.

There is no fee to get in but parking is limited in the parking lot. When I go it is usually full so we just park right outside the entrance along the street. There is a 13 mile long trail and I think a 2-5 mile trail. Their is also a big beach there too.

Can you take a big dog

Hi | Jan 31, 2021
Anna Bedford-Dillow | Feb 1, 2021

There were multiple breeds on the beach when we've been, including large. I think temperament around others would be more important than their size. I certainly haven't seen any notices about size or breed restrictions!

Its about a 15 minute walk from the parking lot, give or take how fast you walk. The beach is a natural beach area that is a part of the nature preserve.
