Elkmore Pavilion

Locals around Elkton know this spot as one of the better places to cool off when summer gets brutal — the beach access is the real draw, and it’s actually kept up nicely. The fans at the pavilion make a bigger difference than you’d expect on a humid Maryland afternoon. It’s got that easy community feel where people look out for the place, which shows. Worth making the trip if you’re near the Cecil County area and need a low-key beach day without driving to the bay.
