Greenbriar Beach and Swim Area — Attraction in Maryland

I planned my trip to beach according to the reviews. This beach is around 1 hr away so as per reviews i have to be in line before 8 and the line is usually 1-2 miles which takes an hr to get in and if we r not in before 8 so they usually close it and we cant get in…. That’s exactly what all the review’s said… Please see the pictures below .. Its Friday 1st September and i reached here at 7:30 and the gate was closed, and there was no line at all… like no car at all… we were the first one to be there and first one to go inside …we waited till 8 to open and we went inside and to our surprise there was not even a single person at the beach… we felt as if we r in a resort and the whole beach is ourself…. So blessed… Slowly and gradually people started coming after 9. We stayed till the 10:30 and we really enjoyed our visit to the Greenbrier state park/beach.

I can't wait to bring my family here again. I highly suggest this hudden gem. Just make sure you come VERY early. The line gets very long, like over 2 miles long, and that...

I've been to recreational areas all across the country and this is one of the best I've ever seen. I've never seen so many tables (at least a hundred, if not double), and multiple permanent bathrooms (with showers). The tables are all very well shaded with their own bbq pits, and the Beach is fantastic. The sand is really nice and the water is great. They even have it lined off so kids don't swim too far out. There was even a lifeguard on duty. Behind the sand is a wide grassy area where you can also sit or play with a ball. I saw volleyball nets as well as several children's playgrounds. I'm sure there's even more i haven't seen yet. You pay $5-7 per adult to get in but it's very...
