5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

I bring my family here every year because it is a very family oriented beach. It is not overcrowded or touristy. Everyone is so friendly. My kids love the beach and the water being more clear than most beaches near Maryland.

Loved the area. Very relaxing, people walking and riding bikes. Very quiet.
