Calvert Cliffs State Park

The Beach at Calvert Cliffs. Maryland, USA, Maryland

This state park is five minutes from my from door. It was $5 to park, but we pretty much had the whole park to ourselves.

You start out walking on a maintained path through a wooded area, which turns into a swamp and leads to the cliffs and beach. The swamp is my favorite! I love the prehistoric looking plants and the wildlife.

The cliffs are a well-known destination for shark tooth and fossil hunters.

The red trail was a four mile round trip out and back. It was humid in early September, but a wonderful hike!
