Review:
Calvert Cliffs State Park is a gorgeous shoreline state park in Calvert County, located along more than 24 miles of beachfront cliff terrain along the Chesapeake Bay. The cliffs, which were carved approximately 20 million years ago with the receding and erosion of the sea that once covered southern Maryland, showcase the remains of a wide variety of prehistoric species, including sharks, whales, and large seabirds.
Day-use visitors can utilize the park's sandy beach seasonally, though beachgoers should note that no lifeguards are staffed on duty and that certain areas can be prone to dangerous cliff landslides. A one-acre fishing pond is also offered, along with more than 13 miles of hiking trails, an ADA-accessible playground, and a 1,079-acre designated natural area.
