Chesapeake Beach, MD is a resort community that was established at the ending site of the Chesapeake Beach Railway at the beginning of the 20th century and was a popular weekend destination and gambling site until the Great Depression.
Following its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, the town has experienced a revival as a resort area, offering attractions such as the Chesapeake Beach Water Park, which features eight water slides, a lagoon, and a children’s play area.
Other major attractions include the Herrington Harbour marina resort, voted as the best marina in America by Marina Dock Age magazine, and the Railway Museum, which preserves the city’s railroad and social history through a variety of exhibits. Beachfront activities are permitted at Bay Front Park and Brownie’s Beach, which offers access to a beautiful stretch of Chesapeake Bay shoreline just south of town.
