DButz65 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Google North Beach MD, same with Chesapeake Beach, they are right next to each other. North Beach is a very small quaint town with little eateries and shops, and yes they have a beach :pfft: My grandfather used to live there and now I have friends that live there. About a 45 minute drive or so from DC, maybe 1h Here is there web site http://www.ci.north-beach.md.us/Pages/index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 within two to three hours there are a ton. You've got the MD beaches Ocean City is the biggest, the Delaware Beaches... Rehobeth, Dewey, Bethany, etc. The nice thing about Delaware is no sales tax and it's a little quieter if you want to chill on the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never swim on any of those beaches anymore on the Bay. It's sad. Kayak yes, maybe get my feet wet, swim, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayak yes, maybe get my feet wet, swim, no. My family swims in the bay all of the time and nothing happens to them. To take it a step further, on one of the beaches you can only get to by boat, my nephews actually coat themselves from head to toe with the mud, they haven't grown two heads yet.

grego Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 if you want a cheaper place thats nice and less crowded, you could try chincoteague. lots of cheap places to stay there that'll be about half what you pay in ocean city. its about 45 minutes south-ish of salisbury. fenwick island, just north of ocean city, also has better deals on hotels than ones just a few miles south in OC. google 'cheap hotels (or motels) fenwick island'.

I think he's talking about 4th of July weekend though so all the Delaware beaches and OC are not only gonna be packed but they have jacked all of their prices up to summer rates since Memorial Day. Some of those smaller places that others have mentioned, as well as chincoteague, or assateague, would probably be a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very clean, well put together town. They have the most high-dollar pier around and a nice boardwalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
