Guide
Good to know
Best time is golden hour
Visit during sunset or late afternoon for optimal scenic viewing and photography.
Visit for quiet reflection, not swimming
This is a small waterfront park designed for sitting and contemplation, not a beach for swimming or sunbathing.
Come early morning for solitude
Arrive before mid-morning to avoid conversations carrying across the small cove, which echoes sound.
Expect very limited parking
Parking availability is tight; consider walking from downtown Annapolis or arriving off-peak.
Bring your own food and water
No restroom facilities are nearby, and there are no vendors or concessions at the park.
