Fran,

I'm afraid that much of Calvert County waterfront is owned privately which
can be very frustrating. However there are a few nice places to get to the
bay or river (Patuxent). There is bay access at North Beach /Chesapeake
Beach, Flag Ponds Nature Park, Calvert Cliffs State Park (although it is
quite a walk to a very small beach--nicer in spring actually), and Solomons
Island. The nuclear power plant between Flag Ponds and Calvert Cliffs) has
a nice overlook onto the bay and the warm water discharged often results in
one of the larger concentrations of waterfowl in the winter but you
definitely need to have a spotting scope with you to see them well. On the
river side you can go to Jug Bay Wetlands Park (which is in Anne Arundel
Co.), Kings Landing Park and Jefferson-Patterson Park. Lower Marlboro is
also a nice area--besides river access, there is a turf farm on which one
can find Eastern Meadowlarks (especially good in winter).
