This popular beach is located on the Choptank River at the Dorchester County Sailwinds Visitor Center adjacent to US Rt. 50/Ocean Gateway. Visitors often include families with kids who have the opportunity to burn off energy on the playground before cooling off at the beach. The beach is a short walk from the parking lot which connects to the Visitor Center and the bathrooms. The beach fills many needs as it is the finish line for the popular Maryland Freedom Swim across the Choptank River, and a great stop-over spot for families traveling to or from the ocean. It's not uncommon to find locals under the picnic table enjoying a half bushel of crabs from T.L. Mooris right across the river. Other amenities at Sailwinds Park include restrooms, a relaxing garden with native plants, mile-long boardwalk, and "Flying goose" monument fountain.
Esta playa popular se encuentra en el río Choptank en el Centro de Visitantes Sailwinds del Condado de Dorchester adyacente a US Rt. 50 / Ocean Gateway. Los visitantes a menudo son familias con niños que tienen la oportunidad de quemar energía en el patio de recreo antes de refrescarse en la playa. La playa está a una corta caminata del estacionamiento que conecta con el Centro de Visitantes y los baños. La playa satisface muchas necesidades, ya que es la línea de meta para el popular Maryland Freedom Swim a través del río Choptank, y un gran lugar de parada para las familias que viajan hacia o desde el océano. No es raro encontrar lugareños debajo de la mesa de picnic disfrutando de media porción de cangrejos de T.L. Mooris justo al otro lado del río. Otras comodidades en Sailwinds Park incluyen baños, un jardín relajante con plantas nativas, un paseo marítimo de una milla de largo y una fuente del monumento "Ganso volador".
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.
