Calvert Cliffs State Park

Place was awesome and.kong hike to bay was beautiful. Not much beach to explore. Water flooded walkway which was difficult for some to pass by. Woman at gate was kind.

We enjoyed our time at the beach, looking for fossils. We took the Red Trail, which was the shortest way to the beach; it was a good walk, very gentle slope, not very strenuous but still a challenge for me since I haven't done much waking of late. All in all, a good day out.

Beautiful walk towards the beach is along the water so you can see turtles and frogs. About a 45- 1 hour walk to the beach and it can get pretty muddy because the path is close to the water. Fun beach and found a small sharks tooth. Also has little bin where you can use any of the tools for looking for fossils or shark teeth. But you should return it after!

If you’re looking for a shed trail looking at the wetlands, this is your place, but if you’re looking for a nice beach, hmm, I would go to another one. I think the 1.8-mile hike to go to the small beach doesn’t make it worth it. This is not a sandy beach and is full of jellyfish. Ah, and there are no more cliffs. Anyway, I really enjoyed the hiking while using the red trail, so well-signed— but when I came back using the blue one, I didn’t feel safe in an encounter with a deer that was following me, and the park could put more signs at the end of the trail. I chilled out on the beach, sitting at the edge of the ocean, feeling the waves. It’s a calming beach; several people were just going to look for fossils.

This State Park allows you to hunt for fossils ONLY at the small beach, but cannot go near the cliff sections. It's a very scenic park, nice for hiking offering 3 different hiking trial, (be aware of uprooted sections of the path), the red one is the shortest and if you walk at slow pace as you may take small breaks to admire the sights and sounds of nature and or take pictures it’ll take you approximately 42” to reward you with its great views. Once there there’s a limited area to walk and see due to frequent land slides due to recent rain causing erosion. Dogs are allowed, you’re able to swim on allowed areas and the water is clear and warm currently and fishing is totally prohibited! There’s a $5.00 small fee if you’re a MD., resident and a $7.00 for out of state visitors. There’s public restrooms at the base and portable toilets mid way through and different parking 🅿️ areas. Being there early will secure you some shady areas, the park is open 7 days a week from 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM.
