North East Beach — Attraction in Havre de Grace

I come here at least once a year. I live about 2 hours away and it’s closer than going to NJ or OCMD. I like it because it’s sand and water and usually not super crowded. Having said that, the sand isn’t the same ocean sand at the beaches. It’s a little less fine and soft. There’s driftwood and rocks mixed in from the river. I usually don’t get in the water and I’d suggest bringing water shoes because this is a river shore and there are rocks/stones at the shoreline and into the water. Once you get in the water, you’re gonna have rocks for a bit and you probably will see seaweed, maybe some dead fish and stuff. Again, it’s a river, at this point you haven’t quite made it to the bay.

Parking is a paved lot and there are alot of spots but if you come on a weekend it probably will be crowded. I usually go in the middle of the week. This year it was a Wednesday around 12p when I arrived and it wasn’t crowded at all. There is a public restroom with a couple showers but it...

4.3 stars? This is quite possibly the worst beach I have been to. The bugs are relentless, the uncombed sand is full of trash, rocks and sharp sticks. Sand area is super small, so it's crowded with ease. The water quality is so poor, there is no chance of seeing anything through it. We weren't sure how to pay to get onto the grounds, we are from out of state and the area to pay was unmanned and very confusing. So we ended up just putting money into the hopefully designated slot and hoped for the best. After paying, we reached the water and didn't even go in, we left 5 minutes after arrival. It was 4 minutes too long in my opinion, and I know water clarity is hard with the area we are in. However seeing water that looks like a drainage ditch, was not something I could get into. Wanted to give pictures of proof but we left far too quickly, this is not a beach you want to visit. For us it was a 2 hr drive, and it's 2 hrs we...

Love coming to the Bay I go maybe once a week. I was there Monday with my neighbor who has never been there. Hector (Bay keeper/ security) was awesome he had a connection with the people on the beach he even was asked to be in a video with some of the swimmers. And I would of gave a five star just for that but later on a young man that closed the Bay definitely wasn't Hector made me feel VERY uncomfortable when he followed me into the women's bathroom and started to pickup trash as I stood in front of the mirrors with just my bath suit trying to understand why he was there with me. I told him the men's bathroom outside had trash all around it so he would leave. VERY WEIRD AND...
