Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Calvert Cliffs State Park runs the Chesapeake Bay seashore for 24 miles. The majestic cliffs were formed almost 20 million years ago when Maryland was covered by ocean water. Today, visitors to the cliffs can see fossils of prehistoric sharks, whales, birds, and stingrays. Some of the birds are the size of small airplanes. Fossil hunting can be done on the beach connected to Red Trail. When visiting Calvert Cliffs State Park children can play on the recycled tire playground. There are sandy beaches for relaxing and swimming, places to fish, and both fresh and tidal marshes to explore through the 13 miles of hiking trails. Camping for youth groups is available, and there are several picnic shelters for visitors spending the day.
