One of the few spots in the region where dogs can splash off-leash directly in the Chesapeake Bay, this small beach in Pasadena draws regulars who appreciate how well it's maintained. Shaded paths lead down to the water, and restrooms and parking are close by. The beach itself isn't large, but dogs tend to make full use of it, swimming and socializing in the shallows.
