The top choice for your family beach vacation, Buckroe Beach & Park is the perfect place to experience the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay with the convenience of amenities like public restrooms, outdoor showers, free parking, and nautical-themed playground.
Sink your toes into our clean sandy beach, take in the panoramic view of the Chesapeake Bay, watch ocean-going ships prepare to arrive at their ports of call, all as your family enjoys the sparkling water & gentle surf.
As you walk along the beach or paved boardwalk, take advantage of the many benches or recently added swing chairs.
While the beach & park are accessible year-round, the summer season begins on Memorial Day and will bring even more amenities to make your beach vacation a breeze!
