Calvert Cliffs State Park is a day-use public recreation area in Lusby, Calvert County, Maryland.

The park was developed to protect 24 miles of cliffs on the eastern side of the Calvert Peninsula on Chesapeake Bay, extending from Chesapeake Beach to Drum Point. The cliffs were formed almost 20 million years ago when most of Maryland was covered by a shallow sea.

Eventually, the sea receded and exposed the cliffs, which slowly began to erode. The park is a popular place for people who enjoy spending their day on the sandy beach, hunting for unique fossils, playing in the recycled tire playground, exploring a freshwater and tidal marshland, fishing, and hiking.
