Beaches in Maryland

Maryland's beach coverage spans the full Chesapeake Bay shoreline plus its tidal tributaries (Patuxent, Potomac), the 31-mile Atlantic coast at Ocean City and Assateague, and the Western Maryland mountain lakes. Bay beaches warm earliest, the Atlantic runs colder and rougher, and the mountain lakes are the backup when coastal advisories hit.
