Choptank Marina Beach is an unguarded beach on the shores of the Choptank River in the Town of Choptank. The beach includes a sandy area that becomes more exposed on a low tide and is bordered by marsh on both sides. Shallow water extends from the beach out to the end of the marina's bulkhead making it a popular location for kids as well as a great spot to launch a kayak, paddle board, or canoe. The beach is west facing and offers great views of the sunset over the Choptank River at certain times of the year. Adjacent to the beach is Choptank Marina which is managed by Caroline County and offers 70 boat slips, restrooms, picnic tables and a small grassy area. Water samples are collected from this beach as part of the Swimmable ShoreRivers bacteria monitoring program where bacteria samples are collected and processed from local swimming beaches every week on Thursdays from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
- Passed water quality tests 60-95% of the time
