Bayfront Park, also known as Brownie's Beach, is a small but scenic beach located in Chesapeake Beach, Maryland. It is less than half an acre in size and features soft white sand, though it is currently closed to non-residents by town ordinance. The beach is dynamic, changing with tidal events, and has areas restricted due to dangerous cliffs. While it offers a picturesque setting, visitors must be cautious of cliff collapses and lack of lifeguards. The park is a municipal property owned and funded by the Town of Chesapeake Beach.
The beach's closure to non-residents has been a point of contention, with some arguing it discriminates against tourists. Despite this, the area remains popular for its natural beauty and nearby attractions like the Chesapeake Beach Railway Museum and the Chesapeake Beach Water Park.
For residents who can access the beach, it provides a tranquil spot for relaxation, though activities like fishing and camping are prohibited. The surrounding area offers a mix of seafood restaurants and outdoor activities, making it a unique destination for those who can visit.
