Review:
Sandy Point State Park borders Matapeake Park and Beach in Anne Arundel County, accessible from downtown Annapolis via the renowned and massive Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The lovely state park, which is located on Sandy Point along the Chesapeake's western shores, is also a converted Chesapeake Bay Ferry System site, spanning 786 acres along the shoreline and attracting more than one million annual visitors. Spacious bay beaches are patrolled by lifeguards throughout the summer months, with opportunities also offered for fishing, boating, crabbing, and picnicking. Historic sites within the park include the 1883 Sandy Point Shoal Lighthouse and the 1815 Sandy Point Farmhouse, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
