North Beach is free if you live in the town. It's only a fee for out of towners I thought.

We moved to Chesapeake Beach about five years ago. We've greatly enjoyed the rise in our property values but we kind of wish the town would 'catch-up' a bit in services and stores. There are a few places but they cater to NASCAR crowds or tourists. There were hopes it would become a 'new Annapolis' but the retail just hasn't arrived in any real way. You basically need to drive to P.Fredrick or Dunkirk for some bigger stores, or Annapolis or DC for a night out.

Still, it is quite peaceful. The area does feel the effect of passing storms a bit more than those inland (if you are on the water, you'll know when a N'easter comes through or a TS as compared to folks in DC who just think it is raining).

If you don't like the stores then move to where you feel you're catered to. This was and still is a primarily rural area. The services have not decreased since you moved here and I assume you knew the "lacks" when you came. It should have been a factor in your decision.

I've lived in Chesapeake Beach for a few years, and I think its a great area. It is more rural than many other locations in Maryland. That is part of the charm of the place, and I'm glad that it hasn't been over developed. It's a simple thing to drive to Prince Frederick, Annapolis, DC, Waldorf, Bowie for both shopping or commuting to work.

Nothing like driving home after a long day and seeing the beautiful bay waiting for you at the end of Rt. 260 to welcome you home and wash away the stresses of the job.

Hi,

I've recently moved to Chesapeake beach and I currently work in Chevy Chase. Any suggestions as far as public transportation/car pool/van pool commuting?

Default commuting

Calvert County has an internal bus system running from the Beaches to Solomon's. The only option for you is the MTA buses which run from various points to Downtown. There may be Van Pool options, there used to be, but I haven't seen any on the road for several years. Car pooling, ask around at your work. There is no Metro or similar system in this relatively rural area as you probably noticed when you moved here.

Sadly, I know this post is a little outdated, but my family and I would like to take a day trip up there. We aren't much for fishing or boating, but love to beach comb, shop at antique stores, eat lots of seafood, and don't mind paying the "out of town" fees for use of the beach and the water park. We plan to drive up early on a Friday morning, stay all day and get a room at the chesapeake beach resort, drive back Saturday. I am not familiar with the area and will be driving to wherever we end up, but would like to know so great places to visit while we are there. We are simple and don't need extravagance, but the reviews for some of the restaurants aren't received very well. Any pointers on where to eat, where to beachcomb, where to spend the day? Any help would be appreciated

Thanks, K

The North Beach town hall looks like they airlifted a building right out of UMD's campus. Nice!

For seafood, I like Neptune's in North Beach.
