  Took my kids for a nice local day at the water. The jelly fish nets were down, so one got stung within minutes of entering the water. Then the water appeared to be infested with jelly fish, making a dip in the water out of the question. They tried to have some fun on the beach but that got old fast. I asked about a refund at the front gate and was told there is a no refund policy and that there was a sign saying there were jelly fish. Well, when we went in I was sitting in a mini van and that notice happened to be taped to the very top area of the booth window so I couldn't even see it. We will not bother here again.

  I went to Breezy Point beach today for a day trip with another family. The netted swimming area does not exist right now, as they are constructing a new pier and had to remove it. As a result, jellyfish come right to the shoreline. Three of the six children we brought were stung. And, of course, after that, despite the warm weather, we couldn't swim (or even wade). To add insult to injury, the snack bar wasn't even open (we were hoping to lift spirits with some ice cream). The park feels compelled to post the following signs: "Please do not bathe in the restroom." (Would I be bathing in the toilet, or in the sink?) "Please remain dressed when using the outdoor shower". But not one sign, either on the website or at the beach, notified guests of the lack of net, the presence of jellyfish, and the warning to swim at your own risk.

  We went to fish and the pier was pretty small but people were catching fish. The nets to keep the jellyfish out were destroyed in Sandy and were supposed to be replaced before the 2013 season but have not been. That was supposed to be done by Maryland Gov. not the campground. The campground seems ok though but we didn't get to see much. I hear that you can find fossils here but we didn't know that when we went.

  Most enjoyable place on the bay and the beach! I would recommend this to everyone! So secluded. And beautiful!

  This is our local beach. Our family goes to the beach several times a month. The jelly fish have been a problem this year. Not sure what is going on with the nets. There are as many explanations as there are people to ask. If planning a visit to Breezy Point and swimming is most important I would recommend coming early in the season. The jelly fish population increases as the water temperature increases. There is a large playground and a decently large beach. My kids play catch, volleyball and run around with the other kids on the beach in and out of the surf having a great time. This is low key fun.We enjoy beach combing and have quite a collection of both sea glass and shark's teeth from Breezy Point. Our family love to help visitors find their first shark's tooth! We have found other fossils as well. Breezy Point is not very crowded during the week even in the summer. Weekends can be a different story, parking can be tight and the beach can be very crowded. This is particularly true during the 4th of July holiday and Labor Day. After Labor Day the crowds seem to abate even on weekends and by October the beach is fairly empty. We love to walk the beach on a quiet afternoon or get up early to watch the sunrise over the water. The fall is a peaceful time of the year on the water.

  Our family always has a great time at Breezy Point. It's especially nice on the camping side. On the camping side you are provided with plenty of space to spread out and set up tents and a screen tent area. The water and electric that's provided for each site makes our stay a lil home away from home. This was the firs time that I can say the bathroom was not as well maintained as in the past. The bathrooms could use some upgrades on the faucets (water pressure) and shower area (holds too much water). We enjoy this beach and look forward to many many more family camping trips as our family has grown tremendously. So happy to have this place here in the state of Maryland.

  I do not recommend for families with young children. 1. removed the fishing net in the bathing area - this does not prevent the input. They say only the presence of jellyfish. 2. you pay your money, you do not get anything in return (check, ticket, etc.) - it's illegal! 3. Very dirty beach, terrible barbecue area (old and dirty tables, rusty grills) 4. There is a children's play area (slide, swing) 5. terrible shower - impossible to normally use

  Breezy Point Beach has shade areas with numerous picnic tables with access to a sunny beach. Most times I have visited, there is a breeze in the shaded areas for eating and having a party for those who do not prefer the sunny beach. Also grills are provided. Perfect from DC. MD, & VA for a 1 day get away. HOWEVER, there are also places to rent and beachfront homes nearby for overnight stays. Minimal cost of $5 per car with lower rates for senior citizens to enter beach. Numerous "clean" toilets available in a nearby brick building (max minute walk depending on area of beach you are in) and after 4 years of visits, they always have toilet paper!!!

  My first time there and it will be my last, cost $10.00 a person to get in. Did not have much to offer, there was no net up and there were old poles in the swim area. The Bay water was dirty. After spending the day there we want to check out the camp ground, want to ride thru. They had a gate I stop worker and ask If we could ride thru the camping area was told no. I camp so if I can check a place out first I do before return to camp. They said we could walk, now I a handicapso how do you walk? So to me I would not plan a camping trip there. I was reading the review from other that is one reason I want to check it out to see if it was like what they said or if they had change things. I like the thing about being on the bay, but damn I want to see something before put more money into it.....

  Great place to visit. If you are going to come, be sure to read their website FIRST so that you bring enough CASH to pay the admission fee!! A bit pricey, but there are loads of things to do. Cooking out (grills-bring your charcoal,etc), picnic tables, great playground, volleyball (bring your own ball), bathroom facilities, snack bar, plus CLEAN beach!! Bring a big cooler if you plan to stay all day. Be aware that some groups get loud, especially on the weekends! I prefer to go during the week when it is less crowded.
