Sandy Point Playground

If you’re an Annapolis local, you already know Sandy Point is the move on a hot summer day. The playground keeps the 2-to-12 crowd busy with a water feature while the adults claim a picnic table and fire up one of the grills. Beach access is right there — actual Chesapeake Bay swimming, not just a view of it. Restrooms and benches make the whole setup way more comfortable than you’d expect from a public park, and the space itself is generous enough that it never feels overcrowded even on a busy weekend.
