Beverley Beach, MD

The Winter Beach - Beverly Beach on the Chesapeake Bay

It was cold today when I stopped at the beach. I drove all the way down to the end of what feels like the end of the world. Starting in Annapolis, then crossing over the South River Bridge into Edgewater. Turning left onto Central Avenue which turns into Mayo Avenue. Passing downtown Mayo (careful not to blink and miss it) and on into Beverly Beach. At the end, of Beverly Avenue you'll find one of several streets named after the body of water they front - Chesapeake Drive.

When I stepped out of the car it was cold. About 42 degrees today. But the beach was no less beautiful. The clouds were coming in from the SW, signaling a change in weather. There wasn't a sole around today.

There were a five white swans in the water. Their heads were all tucked under their wing as they floated with great contentment in the cold bay water.

It was very clear today. You could see all the way across the bay - about seven miles - to the Eastern Shore. Bloody Point was visible at the tip of Kent Island.

If I had put a little more planning into my drive, I might have taken Rocky with me. He could have run the beach. For the most part except on specific beaches, dogs are not allowed off leash. But today, with no one around, I probably would have let him have a run up and down the beach.
