Sandy Point State Park is a 786-acre state park located right on the Chesapeake Bay just north of Annapolis. Hiking and biking trails run throughout most of the park and have playgrounds and scenic areas for picnicking along the way. Crabbing and fishing are popular here, and there are a few places that offer several kinds of boats to rent near the beach.
The Nature Center is the central hub where visitors can find all the information about the park, including a map to get around quickly. There are also many kids’ activities, including events with the Park Rangers, wildlife viewing tours, playgrounds, and the beach. Other places to visit within the park are the Sandy Point Mansion, hiking and biking trails, Sandy Point Shoal Lighthouse, and the Corcoran Environmental Study Area.
